So that boring bar is a run of the mill type nothing really special about it.
It is basically known as a SCLCR.
The S16Q, the 16 is important because it is the diameter of the boring bar and this will determine the minimum hole the boring bar will go in. In this case the minimum hole diameter is 20mm. Not 16mm that is the boring bar diameter my boring bar came with 3 milled flats (as most do) on it to make it easier to clamp in the tool post.
