DIY Boring Head Build | Made From Scratch

G'day everyone,

I have been wanting to get my hands on a boring head ever since I bought the mill. These tools are vital in boring specific sized holes with the mill, and is a very useful mill tool to have on hand. However a quality boring bar is not an inexpensive tool, and even a budget import model will set you back over $100.

I had some off cuts of cold rolled steel from an old project laying around, so I decided to turn it into a DIY boring head, along with some brass scrap.


Making a boring head was surprisingly easy to do, however it does require a lot of set up and patience. I hope you enjoy the video.

Cheers
