@MrCrispinEnterprises 2 года назад

I found the main issue with this style of boring to be swarf evacuation. In a longer bore it gets quite stuffed up. I ended up milling a flat all the way down the bar to give the chips some room to move in. Have a look at 'machining cylinders part 2' for similar work. Cheers, Crispin

@Blondihacks 2 года назад

Yes, excellent point! In my case I have a lot of material to remove and it’s cast iron, so it will have plenty of space. A flat on the bar is an excellent idea. I’ll remember that one!

@MrCrispinEnterprises 2 года назад

My favorite line boring tip that came from a subscriber is to put the cutting hss blank at 45 degrees to the bar center. That way you can use a micrometer to set the cutting radius and also you get fine adjustments as at 45 degrees moving the cutting tip out 0.002" only puts 0.001" on the cutting radius. Again all in machining cylinders part two Incase that was confusing.

@KathrynLiz1 2 года назад

Back in the day when I first got involved with lathes, we called it "saddle boring" because the carriage is called the 'saddle'. Only ever did this once, to rebore the cylinder off a traction engine. Worked a treat... a quick freehand hone afterwards and it went back on. The lathe was a 12" (not exactly small) but the cylinder assembly (pretty big and weigh about 35kgs) just fit with a couple of wood packers to position it on the saddle. Happily it had 'built in' mounting holes that we used to clamp it to the saddle, which saved using clamps etc. As we had to made a new piston, the bore diameter was not critical...we made the piston to fit.......If memory serves (it was close to 60 years ago) we bored it about 1/16" over nominal as it had been pitted by being idle for a long time and we just wanted the pits out. With the bar between centres do nice deep centres in the bar for max ridgidity. With the fancy boring machines that are more common today, saddle boring is rarely used and many machinists have never seen it, and in fact have not heard of the technique. Great video to remind us home machinists out there that there's more than one way to skin a cat.. :-)

Drill your broached hole on the none cutting side and run some fine threads in it. Use a fine thread set screw for a micrometer style adjust on tool depth. It is quite convenient.

Blondihacks explanations are so clear. She should teach in technical school. I would add a set screw in the back of the HS knife. That would allow to set the knife depth precisely as I bore.

@pcsmachineworks 2 года назад

I've been lineboring for many years, well done. I prefer to leave the cross hole in the bar round and use round tool bits, broken endmills and drill bits work well for this with a small flat ground in them. The set screws will hold things in place well enough, think welding shank. On larger jobs I use 3/8 and 1/2" sclcr boring bars cut down to length with ccmt inserts. I also like to tap the back side of the tool bit hole with fine threads so the diameter can be set with a set screw. I also have hollow bars made with very heavy wall tube that allow coolant or oil to be pumped in to the cutting edge for deep boring jobs. A quick connect air fitting on one end works well enough for a rotary union for the low rpm these jobs run at. Plug the other end and drill a small hole on either side of the cutting bit to allow coolant to pass through right to the cutting edge.

@BlackSunCompany 2 года назад

Was just thinking about Clickspring when you made the comment, ha! That clock was a fun build to watch through. That's not a bad analogy about software. Mechanical engineering, machining, and software share similar test methodology. Perform unit testing on the individual components to ensure they work on their own, and only then do you do integration testing. Same way to diagnosing any problem - limit your variables and you'll find what's messing up much faster (or at all!)

It's a testament to my ignorance that I really don't understand what's so special about line boring or why it's fundamentally different to using a boring bar. But, you achieved it with style, so thumbs up. If I ever get to the stage where I can actually hit my target diameter on the lathe, I might give it a try...

Thanks Quinn, you did an outstanding job covering this on a small lathe. I've been deoing this work without the "lathe" professionally.

@ironnsmith452 2 года назад

I normally set up the steady rest near the chuck, loosen the top arm and slide the rest to the other end and tighten the top arm again. This insures that the work is at the same height, end to end.

@alcosteam 2 года назад

20 ish years ago we needed a large air compressor for the live steam shop and by chance a previous employer was scrapping an old Kellogg American 340 series on a 120 gallon tank. The main issue was the high pressure side wrist pin had gotten loose and had gouged into the cylinder wall till the compressor locked up and broke the rod. Two main issues was the cylinder bore on the high pressure side was just under 3" diameter by almost 10" long and no automotive machine shop around had a boring machine that would do a sub 3" bore in excess of 9" long. So I built a similar setup but made a bearing bronze bushing that fit the taper of the headstock on my 16" american pacemaker and bored it out to 1.750", then built a 1.750 by about 36" long bar with a .375 tool thru it clamped and advanced with fine thread set screws. The carriage end of the bar was machined down to fit the slot on a tool holder and was aligned to travel into the headstock perfectly. Once ready I bolted the cylinder jug onto the face plate and at the slowest speed went about boring. The other main issue was a lack of parts available for an 40 or so year old Kellogg American air compressor and I doubt they ever offered oversized pistons. The size of the bore ended up being what I could get in a set of rings the next size over what I needed to clean the bore up and I had to make a piston to fit the bore and a rod to replace the broken one. Unfortunately all my pictures were on 3.5" floppies (old sony 91 camera at the time) and the floppies have all went bad.

@fredrosse 2 года назад

I used this method to bore the crankpin holes and main shaft holes for a large steam engine crankshaft. For perfect alignment I tack welded the crank webs (8 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 cold rolled steel bars) together, and the bored holes had their centers the same height on the lathe cross slide. This allowed boring into the crank webs without needing to touch the cross slide setup for the entire operation. Setting the boring cut to give a final bored diameter a few thousandths undersized avoids difficult fiddling with the boring bar cutter. After final bore, the shaft pieces (1-1/4 drill rod) are turned down a couple of thousandths on the lathe to make a heavy press fit into the crank webs. Much easier to hit the right shaft outside diameter turning the OD rather than hitting a precise bore diameter. Finally drilled and tapped the crankshaft/web joints for a couple of "po-boy" keys, with a couple of set csrews in series, rammed tight one behind another.

@smellsofbikes 2 года назад

Clearly this is an opportunity for a double-carriage lathe, so you can have one on each side of the steady rest. This is great, as usual, and you do a good job of presenting it. FWIW I cleaned up my boring bar carefully end-to-end as I also use it as the alignment jig for measuring tailstock offset.

@bernieshort6311 2 года назад

That was an interesting insight into line boring on a lathe, thank you Quinn. My first ever observed line boring operation I saw was on a horizontal mill driven by overhead belts in a steam workshop way back in about 1968.

@UncleKennysPlace 2 года назад

Of course, line boring can make multiple co-linear bores the same size (such as the main bores of an engine block if the caps have been resurfaced. ) Did you consider making the end of the bar match the spindle taper (which is what I guessed, given the recent taper video)? I was the boring guy at our shop back in the day. Or so they said.

@michaelwright4165 2 года назад

As an amateur using old lathes (with old chucks), let me echo this sound suggestion. Having a boring bar that plugs into the mandrel taper increases the stiffness of the bar enormously.

@jameshodgson1609 2 месяца назад

@clayz1 2 года назад

In my early machining days I got the job of square broaching a 1” square hole in a custom socket wrench. I drilled the pilot hole, then it was off to the hydraulic press. I squared up the sides of the broach with the work and started broaching. The broach was at least a couple of feet long, so as it went down I began to see my mistake too late. I was broaching a finished square hole that was 45 degrees to the work, because that is how square broaches work. Duh. So, Blondihacks, let that be a lesson for you haha.

@arachnipope 7 месяцев назад

I have done this on a project that needed to bore through multiple webs (similar to an engine block). You can measure your bores by turning a loose-fitting, stepped go-no-go gauge to slide on the boring bar. You slide the gauge up to the hole after each pass until the "go" diameter barely fits then move to the next hole. While a set screw behind the cutter can provide tool advance, a little trig and a slanted tool hole will allow a precise advance per flat on the screw. Using the lathe as a horizontal boring mill is a great technique. Your videos always deliver.

@donkinzer5718 2 года назад

Well done. You've probably seen Keith Fenner's line boring videos. Some are done on the lathe and some on the K&T horizontal mill with a universal vertical head. One thing that helps with tool bit adjustment is to partially thread the back side of the tool bit hole. That way you can use another setscrew to advance the tool bit in a less fiddly manner. I'm guessing, though, that you didn't have the space in your boring bar for that luxury.

@TheDuckyf 2 года назад

I wish I had seen this video about 3 years ago. I line bored a cylinder for an antique hit and miss gas engine. The bore is approximately 4.500" and about 12" long. It took way more time to set it up in the lathe but it worked. This is the first video of yours I have watched so thank you Quinn 😊

@davidumstadt5340 2 года назад

Always fun to see a new way to use a machine. I often drill hole to the diagonal dimension of the tool bit and not make it square. This is mainly for tool holders /boring bars on the 9 inch South Bend. The cutting loads are low. On the line bar the square hole may make the tool setting more repeatable. I have filed a few square holes too. Also milled a slot on the end of the boring bar and welded a block over it to close it. You can get round tool bits too.

@MachiningandMicrowaves 2 года назад

Very timely! I have an upcoming project that needs line boring, so seeing how you got on with it has been very useful. Insightful comments too. I'm using a collet chuck to hold the headstock end. I was going to make the square hole right in the middle of the bar and grind the tool to put the cutting edge in the right place so I could cut in forward or reverse. Nice tip from John about threading the back side for micro-adjustment.

@steveneighbour6094 2 года назад

Hello from the UK. A great video and very informative, just thought I'd mention that here in the UK these are known as "between centres boring bars" - I made a 1" one (yes I'm still using imperial measurements) which has a sliding 'micrometer' attachment, this is used to set the cutting bit as fine as 1 thou increments. - Quinn keep those wonderful videos coming !!

@Gottenhimfella 2 года назад

It's amazing how many people who you'd think would know this, do not. Or sometimes, they temporarily forget it. It's why (to give one clearcut example) it's a waste of time to use high strength steel tubing for (say) pushrods in an IC engine. Because of their slenderness, and the fact that the loading is entirely compressive, they fail due to buckling, which is solely a question of elastic modulus, and so 250MPa steel will stand up just as well as 1100MPa.

For line boring I have found Cutting Edge Engineering Australia makes really nice videos. It's often possible to take measurement without removing the boring bar. See their video "Line boring and Bore welding Caterpillar 775 Truck rear strut rod " from 15:06 onwards. Might not work for this project though.

@jerseyjoe2684 2 года назад

That only works if the hole for the cutter is on center. She put hers off center needlessly, because the hole should have been on center and the tool bit ground to get the cutting edge on center. Then she could have made a snap gage to measure the bore. She will deem this comment as annoying and pedantic lol.

Where did you go to school ? Machinist school? Or are you self taught? Your the best Machinist I have ever seen. Im self taught. And i wish I had a 3rd of your knowledge and skill.

Very timely video for me. I got a 5/16" square broach on Friday and will be making a bar on Monday. I'll be using it in my radial drill however with an outboard bearing for support. Ken

You can buy bushings with a square hole broached into them from MSC. I learned this from a Keith Fenner video. Thanks for the interesting videos.

Carriage and steady rest do-si-do, in a video about line boring, with a bit of square boring for good measure.

Ah, you’ve referenced Chris Budiselic there, as is tradition... 😎 What a great video for Canada and therefore, of course, the world... 🇨🇦

You are incredibly sharp! I learn so many things from your videos. Thank you.

@bulletproofpepper2 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing! Got something like that coming up in one of my projects. I was thinking of two holes, one to use a tool to set the cutting depths. Very useful!!!

Quinn, pushing small lathes where no small lathe has gone before. So that’s cool, and a lovely Saturday afternoon video. But that spoiler… if it turns out that you are the owner of a Goddess (which would be one of a small number of reasonable grounds for restricting your workshop space in the garage, in my mind) and maybe even work on it in your videos, then I may melt and you have wipe me into the gutter with some shop rags. _eeeek!_ dang, I really can’t wait until next Saturday!!

Thank you! This technique offers the highest quality solution I have yet seen to a problem I have. Also high effort, unfortunately. But at least I know that I won't fail if I do what you just did.

@madcatdad42 2 года назад

instead of broaching the hole you can use round hss blanks a lot easier for line boring and small fly cutters

@robertpearson8798 2 года назад

I was going to say the same thing. Maybe making a small square holder for grinding and grinding a small flat on the tool blank for orientation in the bar.

@nicolec7290 2 года назад

Never going to be able to get a lathe, just to far out there $. But I still enjoy your videos & will keep watching. I’m learning a bunch so it never hurts to know the tips & tricks. Again good video. Thanks

"Normally cross holes are centred" -- Not on my work

@dougwood6186 2 года назад

Thanks enjoyed your video and its given me some good ideas for my own projects . Just restored a large TOS lathe and it does have T slots on the cross slide . Deep boring has been one of the things i want to do so thanks again

@davidkennedy2555 2 года назад

That, simply, was awesome. Thanks Quinn! I have a 14" lathe, but that lets me do 5-6 inch bores that are reasonably accurate, which is NOT something I could do with my little boring bar. And I like making tools :-)

I was literally just thinking about something very close to this the other day. Awesome work as always Quinn! ❤️

@andrewknox9360 2 года назад

Great videos, thanks for sharing. I’m brushing up on my trade knowledge for a new job, and these vids have been really helpful.

@Amerikanin2numarali_ustasi 2 года назад

A+ you wanna trade that lathe to 16" then no one CAN STOP you!

I just bought some brass rod. Wow I need to go into business making brass. It's priced like gold.

And the beauty of line, or direct boring, is that the bored hole has no taper. 👏👏👍😁

@rtmsound1877 3 месяца назад

When I worked at the lab, we had a 2" diameter line boring bar that had a set screw behind the cutting tool to advance it more accurately. I think it was tapped before the bar was broached.

@Randybootseric 2 года назад

Wow, this was really cool to learn about. I wish I learned more about line boring in school
