I need to make a replacement part for a suppressor. (Yes It is registered with the NFA, and Yes I have an FFL) From time to time I get asked to do this from a customer, so I finally want to buy a carbide insert boring bar for the task. I currently have an Ultradex 1/2" x 6" (S08M SCLCR3) that used CCGT type inserts. This tool is too big to make the cut I need. The part I'm making is .91" in dia with a .25" hole in the center. Now I need to boar out a 60 deg taper cut inside making a cone. I can start by opening up the center hole, but when I get to the inside of the taper my tool is too big. I'm thinking a 3/8" boring bar might do the trick but there are so many to choose from. Any thoughts?
