If you were going to grab an indexable boring bar, to bore into say, a 2" piece of 12L14 cold rolled steel, what insert and angle would come to mind?
It has a 7/8 hole in the center already. (IN THE LATHE)
Style?
Shank size? (I have CXA)
I mean there is only about 1,000 to choose from.
I see plenty of zero to negative 5-degree lead angle bars/inserts.
I have had good success boring with the brazed carbon inserts that I touched up when I had a diamond wheel on my tool room grinder.
I am retooling and don't want to buy anything I won't use.
Thanks.
