pocket boring bar
Carbide from Harbor Fright 6.9" blades or 10" blades makes good cutters in a pocket boring machine , bar stock makes cones for the dead end of the boring bar , 6007 -2RS ball bearings that slide in and out on the I,D, of a steel tube , suitably bored to finish . 6007's are on a ENCO arbor , cheap about $12 for a MT3 female to MT2 male arbor .

Need to nix the delay on start-up . all the way down , it reads 11vdc and easily starts my H'F' 5500 watt GenSet . HF Plasma ( $650 ) works well , dont touch copper cup to work piece , even though the pilot has a heavy choke to limit the pilot amps .. The air PSI must be adjusted precisely , the after cool , shud be done with water ... |
