Except you'd need the tail stock to do the line boring. Catch 22! Bob

If you want to get tricky, you could set up a steady rest outboard of
the tailstock to hold the tail end of a boring bar. Getting everything
set up right would be a bit of a challenge, but it should work.

Then you have to figure out how you're going to feed the cutter.

I think I'd try rough-boring and then reaming, maybe with a D-bit
reamer -- if time is no object. My tailstock slides along pretty
smoothly if you half-tighten it and set it ahead of the carriage, and
then push it with the carriage. That would probably cost me my
membership in the precision amateur machining association. d8-)
