Re: Boring Bars, Carbide, etc.
Wow! What a coincidence! The Aug/Sept Machinist's Workshop has an article on building your own boring bar to use the Everede inserts. The author says that MSC (and others) sell the inserts. He thinks

I just examined a 4" chuck and adaptor plate from Little Machine Shop. A friend got it for his early 6" Atlas with the 1"x 10 TPI spindle. Very nice hardware. Bill in Boulder "Engineering as an Art
