I'm getting setup for a line boring job and have some ?s about setup.
First being how do you measure the distance of the cutter head. My guess is half diam. of bar plus tool extent.
Can this be done on a 4 jaw setup, or with lathe dog/plate setup only. Most info I've read so far push torwards between center for accuracy, though if the 4 jaw is dialed in, how am I gaining?.
And, I have a big line boring bar from a freebie load, but is a little bent, if I true it up to a smaller diameter to take out the bend will it run true afterwards.
