BORING 101 - How to machine like a PRO

Boring can be one of the most difficult operations for even seasoned Machinists. In this video we cover the basic principles and best practices to achieve good results on day one.
We could go on and on about the nuances of boring, it really can take same serious finesse at times. Sometimes simply placing the handle of a hammer against the workpiece is enough to stop chatter on a quick boring pass, sometimes it takes purchasing special tools. We have even used an inflatable tube inside a hollow part like a tire to curb chatter. You might even see lead weights on the back of a boring bar, or rubber bands on the material. The number of subtle techniques is many, and date back over a hundred years.

I fell asleep halfway through lol. Thank you so much for the information. A local supply shop salesman I called couldn't come close to touching this topic they way you have.

[@trace12345678900]

Thanks for this super boring video! I bought a silent bar after watching your last boring video to do internal deep grooving. Hard to believe it works as well as it does.

[@OctaneWorkholding]

Thanks! Sorry the footage cut out at the end, it seems 1 clip was corrupted at the end unfortunately. If this video does well maybe we will do a part 2 with footage of different scenarios and actual cutting.

[@Pagweldfab]

Thanks for putting this info out there. Jam packed with info and tips! For someone like me who is looking to get into CNC, these videos are greatly appreciated by me (and I'm sure others as well)

[@OctaneWorkholding]

@@Pagweldfab Thanks for the support! Feel free to message us any time if you have questions.

My wife probably wonders why I'll actively seek out boring videos. She'll never understand... but seriously, great video, super helpful!

[@DKNguyen3.1415]

She wonders because they're so boring.

[@DR-br5gb]

How did you even find a wife ?

[@ClearlyCero]

@@DR-br5gb you know what... I'm still not sure

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Great tips, I just acquired some nice tooling, which included indexable round bar holders.The tip on not over tighting the set screws and listening to for the ring sounds was most helpful, Thx, Bear in Tx.

[@rossgoodnight7790]

Very good information and easy to understand explanations. Thank you!

[@LS1Cobra]

Great video. I'm struggling with machining some 304 stainless. I like the trick of splitting the blocks. I'll try that.

[@Shagula420]

Really curious how the damper boring bar actually works. Gonna have to look it up after I get bored of this video. 😅 Loved the information. Thanks dude!

[@le3045acp]

i agree with you completely but as a hobby machinist its hard to justify any expensive tooling and a 3200 buck tool for a hobbiest is unobtainablei will say the 3200 buck sandvic tool from sandvik could be sold to you for less than 500 bucks but sanvik and the other tool manufacturers are price gouging because they know big volume machine companies will pay the price and pass the cost onto the customer

[@chuckhuff7123]

Probably the most important aspect of boring is don't get too bored watching these videos on boring 😮😅.

[@tungstenman2822]

I know tungsten boring bars is a density 18.3g/cc

[@TBJK07Jeep]

Thanks for the good video

[@hyperformancellc]

great video.

[@shrumsolutions879]

Love the video. Carbide bars are a real day saver with small diameters. I wanna see the end of the video. I was really into it.

[@OctaneWorkholding]

Thanks! Might have to release the last few minutes on the next one.

[@rykkuuu]

Bent my small 3/16 boring bar

[@ashleyking3961]

Sorry i couldn't finish the videos. I found it to boring. 🤭

[@ES-fr3yz]

Boring video 😂

[@SerenityMae11]

Can someone please explain what he meant by a "wiper insert"?

[@DKNguyen3.1415]

It's a feature that is added that is specifically designed to rub the material after the cut has been made. It's placed on the insert at a place where after the cut is made, the aerea that was just cut will encounter the wiper on the next rotation. You can think of it like a carefully designed lack of clearance. You can just use google and all this comes up.

[@metalillness5951]

Ask your tooling rep or even the dreaded MSC and they will send you a free trial wiper insert. They are great in some situations IMHO.
