I found the main issue with this style of boring to be swarf evacuation. In a longer bore it gets quite stuffed up. I ended up milling a flat all the way down the bar to give the chips some room to move in. Have a look at 'machining cylinders part 2' for similar work. Cheers, Crispin

@Blondihacks 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, excellent point! In my case I have a lot of material to remove and it’s cast iron, so it will have plenty of space. A flat on the bar is an excellent idea. I’ll remember that one!

@MrCrispinEnterprises 2 жыл бұрын

My favorite line boring tip that came from a subscriber is to put the cutting hss blank at 45 degrees to the bar center. That way you can use a micrometer to set the cutting radius and also you get fine adjustments as at 45 degrees moving the cutting tip out 0.002" only puts 0.001" on the cutting radius. Again all in machining cylinders part two Incase that was confusing.

Back in the day when I first got involved with lathes, we called it "saddle boring" because the carriage is called the 'saddle'. Only ever did this once, to rebore the cylinder off a traction engine. Worked a treat... a quick freehand hone afterwards and it went back on. The lathe was a 12" (not exactly small) but the cylinder assembly (pretty big and weigh about 35kgs) just fit with a couple of wood packers to position it on the saddle. Happily it had 'built in' mounting holes that we used to clamp it to the saddle, which saved using clamps etc. As we had to made a new piston, the bore diameter was not critical...we made the piston to fit.......If memory serves (it was close to 60 years ago) we bored it about 1/16" over nominal as it had been pitted by being idle for a long time and we just wanted the pits out. With the bar between centres do nice deep centres in the bar for max ridgidity. With the fancy boring machines that are more common today, saddle boring is rarely used and many machinists have never seen it, and in fact have not heard of the technique. Great video to remind us home machinists out there that there's more than one way to skin a cat.. :-)

I've been lineboring for many years, well done. I prefer to leave the cross hole in the bar round and use round tool bits, broken endmills and drill bits work well for this with a small flat ground in them. The set screws will hold things in place well enough, think welding shank. On larger jobs I use 3/8 and 1/2" sclcr boring bars cut down to length with ccmt inserts. I also like to tap the back side of the tool bit hole with fine threads so the diameter can be set with a set screw. I also have hollow bars made with very heavy wall tube that allow coolant or oil to be pumped in to the cutting edge for deep boring jobs. A quick connect air fitting on one end works well enough for a rotary union for the low rpm these jobs run at. Plug the other end and drill a small hole on either side of the cutting bit to allow coolant to pass through right to the cutting edge.

Was just thinking about Clickspring when you made the comment, ha! That clock was a fun build to watch through. That's not a bad analogy about software. Mechanical engineering, machining, and software share similar test methodology. Perform unit testing on the individual components to ensure they work on their own, and only then do you do integration testing. Same way to diagnosing any problem - limit your variables and you'll find what's messing up much faster (or at all!)

Clearly this is an opportunity for a double-carriage lathe, so you can have one on each side of the steady rest. This is great, as usual, and you do a good job of presenting it. FWIW I cleaned up my boring bar carefully end-to-end as I also use it as the alignment jig for measuring tailstock offset.

@UncleKennysPlace 2 жыл бұрын

Of course, line boring can make multiple co-linear bores the same size (such as the main bores of an engine block if the caps have been resurfaced. ) Did you consider making the end of the bar match the spindle taper (which is what I guessed, given the recent taper video)? I was the boring guy at our shop back in the day. Or so they said.

As an amateur using old lathes (with old chucks), let me echo this sound suggestion. Having a boring bar that plugs into the mandrel taper increases the stiffness of the bar enormously.

But, you achieved it with style, so thumbs up. If I ever get to the stage where I can actually hit my target diameter on the lathe, I might give it a try...

@arachnipope 7 ай бұрын

I have done this on a project that needed to bore through multiple webs (similar to an engine block). You can measure your bores by turning a loose-fitting, stepped go-no-go gauge to slide on the boring bar. You slide the gauge up to the hole after each pass until the "go" diameter barely fits then move to the next hole. While a set screw behind the cutter can provide tool advance, a little trig and a slanted tool hole will allow a precise advance per flat on the screw. Using the lathe as a horizontal boring mill is a great technique. Your videos always deliver.

@ironnsmith452 2 жыл бұрын

I normally set up the steady rest near the chuck, loosen the top arm and slide the rest to the other end and tighten the top arm again. This insures that the work is at the same height, end to end.

20 ish years ago we needed a large air compressor for the live steam shop and by chance a previous employer was scrapping an old Kellogg American 340 series on a 120 gallon tank. The main issue was the high pressure side wrist pin had gotten loose and had gouged into the cylinder wall till the compressor locked up and broke the rod. Two main issues was the cylinder bore on the high pressure side was just under 3" diameter by almost 10" long and no automotive machine shop around had a boring machine that would do a sub 3" bore in excess of 9" long. So I built a similar setup but made a bearing bronze bushing that fit the taper of the headstock on my 16" american pacemaker and bored it out to 1.750", then built a 1.750 by about 36" long bar with a .375 tool thru it clamped and advanced with fine thread set screws. The carriage end of the bar was machined down to fit the slot on a tool holder and was aligned to travel into the headstock perfectly. Once ready I bolted the cylinder jug onto the face plate and at the slowest speed went about boring. The other main issue was a lack of parts available for an 40 or so year old Kellogg American air compressor and I doubt they ever offered oversized pistons. The size of the bore ended up being what I could get in a set of rings the next size over what I needed to clean the bore up and I had to make a piston to fit the bore and a rod to replace the broken one. Unfortunately all my pictures were on 3.5" floppies (old sony 91 camera at the time) and the floppies have all went bad.

Well done. You've probably seen Keith Fenner's line boring videos. Some are done on the lathe and some on the K&T horizontal mill with a universal vertical head. One thing that helps with tool bit adjustment is to partially thread the back side of the tool bit hole. That way you can use another setscrew to advance the tool bit in a less fiddly manner. I'm guessing, though, that you didn't have the space in your boring bar for that luxury.

@davidumstadt5340 2 жыл бұрын

Always fun to see a new way to use a machine. I often drill hole to the diagonal dimension of the tool bit and not make it square. This is mainly for tool holders /boring bars on the 9 inch South Bend. The cutting loads are low. On the line bar the square hole may make the tool setting more repeatable. I have filed a few square holes too. Also milled a slot on the end of the boring bar and welded a block over it to close it. You can get round tool bits too.

Hello from the UK. A great video and very informative, just thought I'd mention that here in the UK these are known as "between centres boring bars" - I made a 1" one (yes I'm still using imperial measurements) which has a sliding 'micrometer' attachment, this is used to set the cutting bit as fine as 1 thou increments. - Quinn keep those wonderful videos coming !!

Very timely! I have an upcoming project that needs line boring, so seeing how you got on with it has been very useful. Insightful comments too. I'm using a collet chuck to hold the headstock end.

Nice tip from John about threading the back side for micro-adjustment.

For line boring I have found Cutting Edge Engineering Australia makes really nice videos. It's often possible to take measurement without removing the boring bar.

That only works if the hole for the cutter is on center. She put hers off center needlessly, because the hole should have been on center and the tool bit ground to get the cutting edge on center. Then she could have made a snap gage to measure the bore. She will deem this comment as annoying and pedantic lol.

I used this method to bore the crankpin holes and main shaft holes for a large steam engine crankshaft. For perfect alignment I tack welded the crank webs (8 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 cold rolled steel bars) together, and the bored holes had their centers the same height on the lathe cross slide. This allowed boring into the crank webs without needing to touch the cross slide setup for the entire operation. Setting the boring cut to give a final bored diameter a few thousandths undersized avoids difficult fiddling with the boring bar cutter. After final bore, the shaft pieces (1-1/4 drill rod) are turned down a couple of thousandths on the lathe to make a heavy press fit into the crank webs. Much easier to hit the right shaft outside diameter turning the OD rather than hitting a precise bore diameter. Finally drilled and tapped the crankshaft/web joints for a couple of "po-boy" keys, with a couple of set csrews in series, rammed tight one behind another.

I was broaching a finished square hole that was 45 degrees to the work, because that is how square broaches work. Duh. So, Blondihacks, let that be a lesson for you haha.

Very well done! I remember my first time line boring! LUL It was a absolute mess! I must have broke 10 bits between many different issues! You did well Thanks for the Video!!!!

Never going to be able to get a lathe, just to far out there $. But I still enjoy your videos & will keep watching. I’m learning a bunch so it never hurts to know the tips & tricks. Again good video. Thanks

You can buy bushings with a square hole broached into them from MSC. I learned this from a Keith Fenner video. Thanks for the interesting videos.

really fun video. doesn't apply here but i happen to know that MSC also sells line boring bar inserts. round OD square id. and there is a cap screw in the back for precision adjustments. i believe i saw this on Keith Fenner's channel on a 2" or 2.5" line boring bar.

I was just going to say that a useful mod to Quinn's boring bar would be a set screw on the back of the cutting tool slot to make fine adjustments to depth of cut.

I’m not sure which is tradition, face turning or BlindieHacks saying “as is tradition” when you do face turning. Either way I like it. Always makes me chuckle. I so easily make the error you started to at the beginning that I didn’t even see it until you pointed it out. Thank you for this excellent KZfaq and for sharing your knowledge and experience. I always learn a lot from your KZfaq.

Quinn, pushing small lathes where no small lathe has gone before. So that’s cool, and a lovely Saturday afternoon video. But that spoiler… if it turns out that you are the owner of a Goddess (which would be one of a small number of reasonable grounds for restricting your workshop space in the garage, in my mind) and maybe even work on it in your videos, then I may melt and you have wipe me into the gutter with some shop rags. _eeeek!_ dang, I really can’t wait until next Saturday!!

Amazing. Back in the 90s Bill Clinton pushed a button and turned off selective availability on the GPS system.. Overnight the GPS compass I *already owned* became much more useful and more accurate. Quinn does the same for my lathe with every video.

Always good for an entertaining metal video thanx Blondie 👍👍😂 My DIY Press has a 20ton cylinder the only bought part the rest is recycled metal and paint 😁 ... so respect for that one u use ...this I only use for press fits 🤪

You can grind a tool bit from old center drill or other round HSS material, then a drill hole in boring bar to hold it. Cheap and effective for occasional line boring. Grind a flat for set screw lock to keep it from rotating in boring bar. Works !

Of course, this removes the need for square hole and broach.

About mild steel vs any other steel... There are no dramatic difference in rigidity between any kind of steels.

@SpencerWebb 2 жыл бұрын

True! Yield Strength and Tensile Strength change with alloy type, but Stiffness remains essentially constant. In that respect, steel is steel.

@Gottenhimfella 2 жыл бұрын

It's amazing how many people who you'd think would know this, do not. Or sometimes, they temporarily forget it. It's why (to give one clearcut example) it's a waste of time to use high strength steel tubing for (say) pushrods in an IC engine. Because of their slenderness, and the fact that the loading is entirely compressive, they fail due to buckling, which is solely a question of elastic modulus, and so 250MPa steel will stand up just as well as 1100MPa.
