Cool

Chuck, everyone, I have about a thousand pics of setups i have done. Prob is they are scattered all over the net in photo albums i have. I have talked to Glenn about making blueprints and i will start some with my zillion projects from welding/ ornamental iron/ maching and some others.

I used my boring head today making a clearance cut on my tool post to clear the live center that always seems to hit at the wrong time...Bob
Pic #1 ALWAYS Watch the back side away from the cut, you don't want to hit anything. Turn it by hand to check for clearance.
Pic #2 Cutting in backgear with the spindle running slow.
Pic #3 Clearance cut done, perfect fit.
Pic #4 Looks like a beaver chewed it out but it will work.
Pic #5 Wrench and spindle nose protector pushing the boring head out of the taper. The taperered arbor locks itself pretty good into the tapered spindle ID.
