About the Item

A nice scaled model of a turner cube made in the 1970s. This unique object, termed a Turner’s Cube, was traditionally an exercise given to a novice machinist to test their knowledge and skill at operating their machine. It requires careful calculation, setup and precision operation to execute successfully. A nice Industrial sculpture for displaying them on a cupboard or a desk. Found at an estate sale in Nuremberg, Germany.
