    Boring head

    Yes an al casting. Counter bore about 3/4 inches but it needs to be concentric. I was hoping to not move the table to make this feature. If the boring head does not cut on center it is going to be a problem later in the project.

    Boring head

    I put the er collet holder back on to see if something had moved and it was still on center.

    Boring head

    The millhead is locking bolts are tight so can't move. The head dovetail I referred to is the boring head dovetail. I'll attempt a photo later.

    Boring head

    Nice round hole offset in x . My table is locked, the head dovetail is locked and I have not moved the mill head. I think the cutter is oriented correctly (it cuts ok)

    Boring head

    New to milling. I have drilled a hole in my project using a twist drill held in a er32 collet, that went as expected nice hole seems centered on the spot. Now I need a counter bore so I set up my new boring head, it cuts OK but does not make a hole centered on the drilled hole (by quite a bit)...

    ER40 collet chuck sizes.

    I have a sb9 that I made a er32 chuck for. It works great for me. I got lucky and it run very close to on center. It screws onto the lathe spindle and was an adventure to make. Gary
