Boring Bar

I bet he has the typical Chinese set that HF and LMS sell. Decent carbide, but not sharpened worth a fart in a windstorm. My set actually had a round edge on some of them.

Buy a set of diamond hones (https://www.harborfreight.com/3-piece-2-...36799.html) or similar, and carefully sharpen the cutting edge and top surface to get an edge on them. Once you get them sharp, they will serve quite well.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
