Hi, I have a Uni-Vertical mill with a Bridgeport type H head on it. I need to bore a 2" hole in an engine casting but it is too long to mount vertically in my mill. It is also too large and irregular to safely mount in my lathe.
The head on my mill rotates 90 degrees and I was thinking of doing the boring horizontally. I have a boring bar holder for my mill, but I was wondering if there were any things I would need to pay special attention to for this operation. I have never tried this before, and I want to be sure to do it safely and effectively.
Thanks, John.
