Slightly scary machining
WeldingRod:
That's a good point! Could be handy if you have a bunch of passes to do!

I see no real use for that gadget. Years ago I heard about such a thing and I may be wrong but the way I understood it the tool would get smaller when grasped so that it could be quickly withdrawn from a bored hole without scoring the bore.
I have some nice tools that seldom get used. I might have popped for that tool had I seen it.. It is definitely unusual...Ummmmmm I presume that you can grasp the copper ring when spindle direction is reversed and it will then get smaller for withdrawing from a bored hole?

Have personally used one and it indeed does go in a mill. It is the bees knees for grooves, the ratchet clicks helps to count to the size wanted.
appletree:
Correct me if I'm wrong its a boring and facing head for use in a mill, particularly useful for things like grooves for circlips or bores in things like castings that are too large to swing in a lathe.
Not dangerous if treated correctly and respected, like all things engineering.
This Particular example does not look ultra expensive, but still useful and well worth having, maybe not used every day, but when used with every penny

I'd sure like to know how that thing works inside. Can you google up a reference for us ? Is there a name on it ?
To me the scary thing about using a boring head is the possibilty of getting a bad finish/chatter down inside an important part.
Lathes scare me far more than anything on a mill.
