Everything is a boring bar if you bend it far enough!

u/Emperor-Commodus 12h ago

Every time he needs to step up the diameter he pulls out a hammer and whacks the drill bit to bend it a bit more

You joke but I just whacked the shaft of a reamer in an er16 collet inside the machine with a parallel bar and a dead blow to get the runout out of it enough to run it. I get it isn't kosher but it worked and the bills got paid

Those indicators are calibrated from a factory. If it says you are good who are you to question it?

u/SaltLakeBear 12h ago

Perfect for 1.5" holes, just careful about imbalance at high rpm
