Boring with a radial drill

admin

I had to build up and bore the bearing housing on a scraper axle torque arm a while back. I managed to get a little video and couple of pics while I did it.

Reply:Nice work.
Reply:a great example of using what you have and modifying to get a job done. I will bet that's not the first time that set up has been used.
Reply:Thanks for sharing Wayne, I agree with above.  I always learn something watching/reading your posts on how you do your work.I didn't know anything about boring with a radial and started typing out some questions.  Did a quick Google and found some answers.  If anyone else is looking for the same "I didn't know you can bore with a radial - can it do that from the factory?" type questions, here's what google brought up: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb...-boring-96672/

Reply:Very well done. I enjoyed the video and being able to see the tool setter in action.
Reply:Thanks. I figured that was the most interesting part of it so I concentrated on that. The rest is just boring watching a tool go round. I actually put that clamp bit on for this job. That tool was made way before my time at my former employers. But you had to hold it up to the side of the bar while using it. Rather difficult. I decided it was time to make it clamp.Millermatic 252XMT 304'sDynasty 280DXHypertherm PowerMax 1250Miller Trailblazer 302 EFIOptima PulserXR feeder and XR Edge gun and more athttp://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook/index.htm

Reply:Thanks. Took me a while to find it but here's a pic from a past post.  This is the old thread where I found it. There's several old line boring threads from ages past. http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...ht=line+boringMillermatic 252XMT 304'sDynasty 280DXHypertherm PowerMax 1250Miller Trailblazer 302 EFIOptima PulserXR feeder and XR Edge gun and more athttp://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook/index.htm
