I still don't understand what this is for
 but the machining looks great! I can't wait to play with my lathe and see what kinds of things I need to make myself for it

Ok another project, thanks. Would definitely be handy.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

This project taught me that I needed some new tools. I used a boring bar that I got long ago prior to knowing anything about insert boring bars. I only know a little more now but I digress.
 I got this boring bar some number of years ago. http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PARTP...A=328-6181 And a couple of these inserts. http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PARTP...A=422-3064 I used those on the cat eye project and it was not the best for boring up to a shoulder so I just order this new boring bar, along with a couple of inserts, from Maritool, one of my favorite tool suppliers. http://www.maritool.com/Indexable-Toolin..._info.html I much prefer the CCMT type of insert for over the "TP" type, but what the hell do I know.  OK, I admit it. I'm a toolaholic.  Ed Quote:OK, I admit it. I'm a toolaholic. Ed Admitting you have a problem is supposed to be the first step to recovery, but I still don't see it as a problem.

Ed, pardon my inability to decipher technicalese but what are the differences of the 4 ccmt inserts shown under that nifty looking boring bar.
Busy Bee 12-36 lathe, Busy Bee Mill drill, Busy Bee 4x6 bandsaw, Homemade 9x17 bandsaw, Ad infinitum.

Steve, Two are designed with a carbide grade for stainless steel machining with a different tip radius on each. The other two are designed for cutting steel alloys with a different tip radius on each. Hope this helps. Ed |
