Hi Jack,

Could you show what you did to modify your blocks to hold boring bars better?

Thanks,
Ed

ED,

I took a piece of 3/4" shafting, in the lathe, bored out the centers to hold the boring bar, then welded then into the AXA blocks, then drilled the assembly for the set screws to hold the boring bars. They offer boring bar holders, but most seem for the bigger diameter boring bars, I wanted some thing to better hold the smaller diameter boring bars. These are not fancy, by any means, but they work very well, they also allow you to rotate the cutter into any position, if that important.
