not too long ago i saw a video somewhere of a digital boring head (maybe there's a different name for it?) that machined a profile like this on a mill. but i cant find it anywhere to save my life right now.
Essentially, what i'm looking for, is a tool that could bore out a shape/profile similar to below (highlighted blue) in a mill, but leave a turned finish.
these would come in different size and profile dimensions but essentially that shape. i'm already doing some of these in a lathe, but want to be able to do them in a mill.
i'm not looking for suggestions on how to mill this with 3d surfacing or anything like that. i'm already machining some in a mill using a button index cutter.
really just want to see if i can get a turned finish in a mill.
if anyone has seen the video i described, would appreciate the link!
