Mini-lathe - boring bar

 


My 0XA boring bar holder fits 1/2" bars or 3/8" bars with an adapter sleeve. Shame my boring bar is 10mm! It currently resides in a 250-001 tool holder, which is a bit of a waste.

Mini-lathe to the rescue! The sleeve on the left is turned from a bit of 1/2" round bar, with a 10mm reamed hole and a slit. Works perfectly, and liberates another 250-001 tool holder!
