Make HSS Boring Bars For Your Boring Head 

Dave Lee thanks Dave. I try to do the best I am capable of doing, sometimes that’s good enough, others not 😁

Thanks James

Thanks Robert, my best $300 ever spent

John Creasey that’s because I pre warm up the belt before recording. Otherwise it screeches and burps for awhile. Even tried belt conditioning spray with mixed result. What I do for my viewers 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

PS: I will have to check out Stefan's video to see why the design includes a top-screw and push rod, rather than just a bottom screw.

Thanks Craig

Thanks John

Thanks Matty, stay healthy!

Thanks and welcome

John Doe I decided against that because I wanted the ability to adjust the rake. Thanks.

nadam35 thank you so much

Jace Walton thanks Jace

Both are Precision Matthews, very nice

@@woodscreekworkshop9939 Thank you for answering and the videos. I was thinking those looked really nice also.

What size? 3/4

It is possible he is saying it correctly and we are not. I know, mind blown 😀

Jeff Kurtock you want boring bars to be as rigid has possible without making them glass hard (would shatter). Rigidity allows consistent dimensions on parts you’re machining.

@@woodscreekworkshop9939 Rigidity is measured by elastic modulus. Elastic modulus doesn't change with hardening. www.researchgate.net/post/Will_the_Youngs_Modulus_E_value_change_with_heat_treatment . I would expect that hardening boring bars will make them, well, harder. But it shouldn't make them more rigid, or stiffer.

You can always find something better, but if what you got does the job...

Don’t tell him, he may not notice

Only mildly...

This one was boring.

Yeah Yuchol got all serious on us. No dancing girls or face pop ups.

CXensation I know. I yawned the entire time I made that video 😁
