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 like to use the biggest boring bar that will fit. In this case it
would probably be on
your lathe. In addition, since it will be boring horizontally, chip
control is easier and
the compound slide can be set at an angle to provide 0.0001 adjustments.
