Well I found Bozo in my shop.
I got the boring bar set up with my freshly ground 60 degree HSS tool, centered the bit with a negative rake on center.
found zero on the cross slide, the compound is set to 29.5 degrees but I fed with the cross slide.
Made my first inside out pass and all was well with the world.
Backed out so I could plunge in for another pass, took another .005", perfect.
On the third pass I missed my mark on the thread dial.
Now that I screwed up my part I continued to practice the technique.
I don't know why I missed it, I put a little pressure when I am very close to my mark and it pops right in, smooth as glass.
It happened again while practicing.
I learned a lot.
I'll bore this out and try again later.
I must say, there is no stress because I can't crash moving away from the head stock.
