Line boring on the lathe
« on: July 08, 2025, 12:33:47 PM »
These are some pics of the tooling I made for doing line boring on my lathe. It has some bars with T-slots in them that bolt to the saddle. Then the adjuster go in to adjust the height of your work, and the second plate goes on top of the adjusters, That plate has T-slots also.

Looks like that arrangement will make light work of the bore!

I made a similar rig for my 12" Logan that worked a treat!
