What would be the advantage over using the cross slide with a tool mounted in a toolpost? |

It's got a once per rev catch, and the lead screw has a ratchet with about 8 teeth. The control ring has a big flange on the bottom to keep your fingers from sliding down. I might need to modify it with some sort of adjustable stop. Its _possible_ that I was running it faster than might be sensible. It didn't come with instructions ;-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |

It wouldn't be much use in the tailstock. Lots more work than a normal boring head's screw. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |

It is quite interesting though! I probably would have got it just to see how it worked. |

Hi Facing tool I do not think so! It is much more useful as boring bar for quick advance of the cutter without stopping the machine. |
