For my vertical single build, I need to bore the cylinders on my mill, as the cylinder casting is simply too far out of balance to try on my Taig lathe. This of course means that i need a boring tool holder for the mill. Since buying one would just be too easy, I decided to try my hand at building one from the plans posted a while back http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=1288.msg9277#msg9277
(I know there's some sexy way to turn that url into the word "here", I just don't know it!)
Right off the top, I had to modify the plan to replace the shaft with a tapped hole to fit the spindle on my taig mill.
Boring mounting hole with shop-made boring tool holder on lathe
tapping 3/4-16 to fit taig spindle
sideplate milled & attached for milling of dovetail
