It's wild watching that quill move back and forth so much with the force of the cutter on the bore. When people talk about rigidity it doesn't seem like a big deal until you watch a video like this.
You wernt kidding about having a backlog of videos ...nice... I am still itching to edit up a time lapse video of my unloading odyssey of the new lathe. Got several short video segments of it, but need to put them together and speed it up
Edit that odyssey, I tried to edit my machine move video only to discover my camera only recorded 12 minutes than would stop and start when I moved it. So I am missing so much I can't make sense of it.
I’ve found Criterion to make the best boring heads. If you’re measuring for accuracy you need a bore gage. But, if you don’t have one I have used telescope gages to within 0002” routinely. I have found custom ground (my own) high speed cutting tools to be very accurate and carbide to be highly unreliable for accuracy. Btw using calipers to measure with just wont get the job done within .003-005”. Telescope gages take much practice

just put a cap head allen screw in it that seems to work fine most of the time
Good video. What is that handheld air blower you use? Had a quick search but couldn't find anything
Ryobi 18V P738, great tool to have so you have no noisy air compressor running. Thanks
so is the 2in the minimum boring dia. what would be the max?
Wifey not going to happy when she finds out you took her hair dryer :/
i just put a video of my table online
