Making An Outboard Spider

[EdK]

This project taught me that I needed some new tools. I used a boring bar that I got long ago prior to knowing anything about insert boring bars. I only know a little more now but I digress.

I got this boring bar some number of years ago.

And a couple of these inserts.

I used those on the cat eye project and it was not the best for boring up to a shoulder so I just order this new boring bar, along with a couple of inserts, from Maritool, one of my favorite tool suppliers.

I much prefer the CCMT type of insert for over the "TP" type, but what the hell do I know.

OK, I admit it. I'm a toolaholic.
