Now That's A Boring Bar.....

[brino]

Hi All,

I signed up at the Sandvik-Coromant website a while ago when looking up part numbers on some carbide insert drill bits I got in a basket of goodies from my local used tool store.

This morning in my inbox I got a mail about a world-record sized lathe boring bar.
I just had to share it!

If you poke around their website they claim to have an "Insert Identifier" and "Turning Calculator" mobile applications (aka "apps"). I have NOT tried them.

If I remember correctly some one posted a pic in the early days of the 'net showing a boring bar atleast 100' long for boring stuff on a nuclear sub. The bar was 11" square and it showed a 180 lb man walking on it. Don't remember the deflection.

That's a nice de-vib bar. Wonder what it cost.
