Time for me to ask yet another stupid question...
I found two 1/2" "Williams Sleeve Bar" boring bars. They were in a box of stuff that came with my lathe. I have the spanner wrench that fits the head but I can't find away to take the cutter loose.
I had them soaking in some oil and had forgot about them for a few weeks. Until this morning when I went into the shop and dumped over the can holding the bars and oil.
From what I can see the top of the cutter is fitted into a slot on the bar head. So I cant turn the head. The bottom of the cutter is set into a slot on the sleeve so I can't turn the sleeve. The sleeve won't slide down the shaft so I am out of ideas.
Instead of tearing up the bars trying to figure something out, I thought I would ask the pros. How the #%$%$^ do you get this thing apart?
