WTB - Large Vermec Sphere Jig

Note that if you find one that was made for lathe with less swing, Vermec should be able to make what you need to make it fit the 28" swing.
Note that another variable is the clamp to hold to the bed. Adapting an existing jig to your lathe may require modifying, constructing, or buying one with a different spacing. (An almost trivial task.)
AFAIK, everything else is the same. You can contact them with questions; they are very nice.

Also, Mike Hunter told me one of the cutters he sells will work on the Vermec.

Thanks, John. I did plan to reach out to them initially but they’re closed as of Sept. 8 and reopening October 27, so I’m just a bit late. They have also suspended all sales/shipping to the U.S. due to tariffs (I believe it’s an Australian postal service issue as opposed to Vermec specifically). We shall see where it goes!

We have a past club member with one for sale but I am not sure he still has it.
Thanks Gerald. If you happen to speak with him and he does, please let me know and I’m happy to provide contact information to you that you could pass on (or you could pass his to me). Appreciate you letting me know.
