HI ALL!!
I am currently setting up my boring bar, but it is much too large for working on small 50-550 cc 2-4 cylinder import stuff like Honda, Marusho, Kawsaki etc.
I have an image in my head of a cylinder block from a BSA or a Honda CB160 mounted on a plate that is attached to the carriage on my lathe.
I would assume from there I would mount the boring bar in the chuck and have it against the tail stock. I think this is the classic method in teh Southbend instruction manual from the turn of the century.
Anyone doing this? I am looking for Ideas and what I can make to adapt this to my lathe.
- My lathe does not have a sufficient swing to spin 2-4 cylinders at a time.
Thank you so much!!
