Mike tell me what the job is and I will look for a boring bar. There are a lot of inexpensive Chinese machine tools on the market that would do the job. I found my South Bend on Crags list. I had to drive almost to Galveston then borrow a engine hoist to get it out of my van $700. There are smaller lathes. I found mine at crags list. I have seen them at hamfests now and then. Also Harbor freight sells one. John [email protected] K5VGM WI2XLJIn a message dated 5/5/2022 2:59:16 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hi John, Sounds like it would do the trick. How much does the boring bar you have in mind cost? I know they vary quite a bit. I wouldn’t mind making the drive if nobody closer can help. I’m actually looking for a machine for my garage right now. Something with a decent capacity. Something with a 5’ bed with a 6-8” swing. Single phase. Not sure if you know anyone selling used.

Just barely in SW Montgomery county. I don't have a boring tool that would do the job. I might let you buy me a boring bar. How deep do we have to go?

I have two Delrin parts I need to remove 10 thousandths from the bore. Would need to be able to hold a 2.25” piece. Willing to pay for the service of course.
