ya, tho the boring head makes it sweet ( the 50lb silver thing hanging off the mill, above the yellow wheel)
I have never used an automatic boring head until this one. it has autofeed in the x direction (in or out) or you can dial it in with the crank to the left side all with the mill running/turning.

For example, the mill is running/spinning the cutter but the boring head is stationary. You dial in your cut a few thou, hit the z auto feed on the mill and bore to depth. Then, reverse out of the cut on rapid then dial in your next cut all without powering down.

It will also auto feed across a surface, say fly cutting a head or cut an o-ring groove by dialing in or on auto. Taper bore, just match the z axis feed on the mill with the x feed on the boring head.

With cnc, this is easy now. I guess, back in the day, this cutting head was the cat's meow.

Wow, that thing is an amazing piece of engineering!

Not trying to be a dick, but.......

Bullsh!t. Allowing douchebags, bullies and azzholes to continue their sh!tty behavior only emboldens them because they feel like they're getting away with their assholean behavior.

So we don't call them out them for being trolls, we blame the people that took the bait?

That's beside the fact that both of them have been banned from other forums for the same crap they pulled here.

Your points are valid scoot.......and so are the others........ it's just a differing opinion I have that's all......... and a different experience.

I knew my post wasn't going to be all that popular based on the "scorched earth" tactics that Damon and the bot do. And yes......... I see it elsewhere as well.

But I've never had a problem with either. I may have had some cross words once or twice with Damon or bkm but you could count that on one hand.......even on other forums.

It goes away eventually but if they get out of line....a moderator can step in and give a "time out".......simple

Edit....... BTW Shawn powell.........is the predator generator a good one? Isn't it like half the cost of a Honda but just as quiet?

Allegedly 2 dB quieter , and its more imo , and 700$ vs the Honda 3000is about 1800 to 2100 depending on model (sport vs park)
Weighs a little more (100lbs vs 89) but so far it’s been good. No issues even with the ac and the microwave going. Still pretty new so can’t speak on the long term. I did buy the warranty 140$ extra but it’s 2 years anything goes wrong they replace it on sight. No fixing. One time use only but seems like it was worth it.

What do you mean by back in the day? How old is it?

Just curious, I haven't worked in a machine shop in 30 years or so. Back then the boring heads we used you had to stop the spindle to adjust the cut. It's very possible that the type of boring head you have was available but the shop I worked in didn't purchase them.

That thing is awesome!

Thx dirt.
There are still deals to be found on eBay.
The original post only had the head pictured and didn’t meet min bid. I contacted and made an offer as it was “incomplete“
It turns out the Seller had box and all parts, just not pictured in ad. My offer accepted and I am boring away. Wohlhaupter is a more common head but I think this one is a bit better.

Here is short video of making a cut with mill running.
Disengage z axis, unlock, dial cut and lock, engage z feed

I, and most sane people are unable to even process the ideas people like you have. No moderators, dont throw anybody out? But you consistently complain about immigrant tweakers ruining things around where you live. That is true liberalism. The fact you glamy or anyone else, woud take pride in trying to piss people off is worthy of psychological evaluation in most cases.

Why would anybody want to wake up one day and think, I want to jump on the internet and piss people off? People see right through it. Some like to engage and take the bait from time to time..I am guilty of it..
There are certain people on this planet that just want divide, fighting, teasing, bullying, insulting. The internet has made that easy as now they do it in a venue they can be hidden and anonymous less they dare to do it in the real world.

I think everybody on the planet has seen what happens with trolls when it is time to reap what they have sowed. They land on their friggin head usually and with good reason. I have seen the worst internet enemies get on a ride somewhere and they either hang out and be like "ya I just bust balls", or they absolutely avoid each other. One avoids because they are the coward, the other avoids cuz he dont wanna go to jail...The trolls never come up to a member and say the personal and insults they say in the message board, because they are quite aware they will get jacked in the fuggin jaw. So which guy will you be in real life?

It is a mental disorder. Purposely trying to stir . Everybody does it to some level, but most usually stop or draw a line when it gets out of hand..
You dont piss me off glamy..you got a purdy mouth boy..
I like to bait you into intellectual conversations, but you bail, because you can't be intellectual..That is my way of trolling you back, and it pisses you off....Tell Nancy P we said jump off the end of the murderous pier you flakes are so protective of throwing people out of.....paddle faster boy, I hear banjos in the distance

..think i`ll go to the beach today

Watch out for the sanctuary sea lions!

[Mosh]

Once again glamy can not round up 36 IQ points to have a conversation. Could care less about that Z thing anymore. However it was your chronies over at the fight club .org, that neglected to give us any info for members when we asked. Apparently they were all fighting as to weather that NINJA guy should have been included..They actually called and apologized for it in the end. The fact you want to even bring that up demonstrates how you like to personally belittle and attack people... See you live to piss people off. Keep proving it. I think most members see it, avoid you cuz they dont want to deal with you childish nonsense. What else ya got halfwit? I am not going to sit and engage in anymore pissing matches with you. You do perfectly fine by yourself demonstrating what a pompass asshat you are..

I started machining in 1989 and I've never seen a boring head like that. It's brilliant and I want one.

Now that beat's the hell out of using a citron boring head on a Bridgeport milling machine. Love all the tools in your new shop.
