I'll second the loctite fix. I've redone crank pulleys on cars with messed up keyways by thorough cleaning and using the stuff. Never had a failure, but wouldn't want to try to get it off again. I'm talking high revving engines used in autocross, so about as stressful an application as it gets.
As to those chineseium boring bars, I have a secret weapon: the diamond machinists here at work. They have sharpened and reground bits for me that I thought were hopeless. Even the cheap harbor fright stuff works well with the right angles and a good cutting edge. I give them pens and bottle openers as bribes.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
