I have an upcoming need to bore a 1.125" hole in a 2x2x3" brass block. I
have a Logan 10" lathe and a small Index mill with power feed on the quill.
My question is which machine would I expect to do the job with greatest
accuracy? I have a Criterion type boring head for the mill and proper
boring tools for the lathe. TIA

I would do this job on the lathe if the positioning accuracy for
the hole were not a big issue. The two techniques will
both produce holes of equal finish and diameter accuracy.

Unless I had to get the hole to be at some particular
location with respect to an edge of the block I would put
the part in the four jaw chuck and do it that way.
