Make sure the cutting tool has sufficient front clearance so as not to
rub on the inside wall.

Set the cutting edge at or slightly above the centre line of the
lathe.

If you get serious vibration slow the speed and/or increase the feed/
rev.

Point 1) and 3) also apply when using a boring head in the mill.

Keep the bar extension as short as possible.
