New boring and facing head
Well an "i suck" gloat
Took a chance in a boring head for a great price. From the ad it appeared incomplete. Luckily a bad pic and a great deal. Not a light piece of tooling. The head itself is around 50lbs. Next to fit it to my mill to see if I have to make a new collar.

What is that big grey flat thing under those excellent machines?

I wondered that, too. I think I've seen them before, and thought I should get one, too. Or maybe I already have one. Haven't seen it in awhile if I do.SteveHGraham wrote:What is that big grey flat thing under those excellent machines?

Re: New boring and facing head
Very cool. That must be the "W" you mentioned. Obviously it is suspended at the head and boring is either manual or automatic advance with trip points. I think that unit cost new, about what new mill does now.
Re: New boring and facing head
50 lbs hanging on the quill might get interesting!

Re: New boring and facing head
the unit is not spinning, it is secured to the quill via direct bolt or compression sleeve. only the internals are moving via the taper. That way you can still use the handle/crank etc.
