Neck Turning Tools

[shinny]

Does anyone know where I could find a old Henry Vranian neck turning machine?

Additionally, has anyone had any experience with the GRACEY, as they put it, Neck Shaving Machine

There was one for sale in the classifieds.

Here is a link to a thread here about them. Might be able to find a substitute if you can't find the Vranian tool.

It looks like a quality piece of equipment.

Hovis,
I couldn't find it. Could you be more specific where you saw it and was it recently.
Thanx

I have one

something like this one which Francis B put together for me. I seem to end up back with my 13.5v drill every time. I also use a 1/2" old Craftsman drill motor that has a screw in the middle of the trigger which makes it variable. A 1/2 inch drill will make thing happen!

I am thing I may go back to turning mine on my Lathe over a mandrill in spite of all the money I have spent on hand turning gear.
