Large Boring Head - Piston Type
Ref: HK 1050
Designed by Dr J. Beddard. A substantial boring head that is capable of boring and facing up to 6" nominal diameter. Based on a robust, well balanced phosphor bronze casting, with piston slide adjustment and positive locking, this new boring head is ideal for use on the milling machine. Indeed a milling machine is required for its construction. The tool will also swing over the bed of Myford 3 1/2" centre lathes.
The kit includes the PB casting together with all other necessary materials. This is an elegantly detailed design, with drawings in CAD. A VHS video was compiled by Dr. Beddard and it is hoped that copies will shortly be available to further assist with construction.
