First attempt at automated ball turning in 2 steps.
The first step is to turn a partial arc to a shoulder and then flip the part of around using the shoulder to hold it. The second step then completes the ball turning with a full arc.
I got the offset slightly wrong when turning flipping the stock around but end result is not too bad - emery cloth and polish covers up all the mistakes.
In the next attempt, I will try to do this in one pass that reduces the chances of errors with part flipped around.
