Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Boring Efficiency with HHIP 1031 0312 SCLCR06 Indexable Boring by Christopher Isaac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for mini lathes

I needed a smaller boring bar for internal boring of small items on my mini lathe so I bought this one to try. I've used it several times and the function is great for both extreme boring and also performs almost flawlessly when facing aluminum.The carbide insert is a huge bonus and allows me to use it on harder metals than aluminum.It's strong and longer than I've ever needed before,but provides full-surface support by being in is inserted into the tool holder so that all screws rest against the shank. The flat surface on the tool shank is also a great advantage for increasing the holding force in the tool holder.

Pros
  • boring bar type S05 SCLCR06; Shank 5/16"; Minimum hole diameter 0.315"; 4.00" length
Cons
  • unreliable
