I've considered that too. I'll have to see if a suitable bit of tubing can be had from TSC the next time I'm out there. I need to measure that huge bar that came with the lathe as I mught have to do the same for it. Or knock the sleeve out. I haven't actually miked it but it looks like a full inch. Haven't bored anything that big yet, just reground the spindles MT5 about 6 thou bigger because it was bent. That, and refacing the backing plates so they ran true was fun, but it runs true now. Damn I wish it would rain. It's missed one day in the last 3 weeks, and this wasn't it. :( Thunderboomers are getting closer as I type.
