Hi Chris,
actually if you go check out Guy Lautard's "The Machinist Bedside
Read" you'll find a manual way to turn balls without a special
attachment. The CNC method and the manual method are essential the
same, just a difference of a hardware vs wetware computer. 8^)

BTW, if your new to machining, the Bedside readers are highly
recommended.
