Not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm wondering what thoughts are for this:
I got an Allied Criterion 2" boring head with my used mill and the previous owner had also purchased a Mesa Tool 1/2"x3" boring bar. I've used the bar in the head a few times now and like it very much, so I went to the Mesa website to see what else they offered and saw this fly cutter they sell.
So........., yea or nay???
I don't have my lathe yet (it will be a few months), so I think it would be easier to get this than to try to make a fly cutter with only a mill and no lathe. I imagine it's possible, but I suspect it would be a whole lot easier to make a fly cutter with both machines.
