Gents,
I'm looking for some feedback. I'm looking for the best boring bar for roughing and finishing aluminum. The minimum bore is @ .875 and goes up to @ 4". I will need to rough as aggressive as possible and then get the best finish possible. Can I do this with the same insert or will I need two seperate bars ideally?
No trick contouring required, just some flat bottoms.
Is there a big difference in performance between the different bar manufactures or are they pretty much the same if I go with a solid carbide bar? What about the hybrid carbon/hss bars?
Any particular insert profile to narrow in on?
