I have been looking at a few to many sites but unable to find the answer I am looking for. I am wanting to feed .875 aluminum rod through the headstock on my lathe. I have read that the largest bore you can go on the headstock is about an inch which is larger than I want to go but have seen one person say that they have gone to 7/8" which is about what I need. Is this feasible with a 4 inch 3 jaw chuck and the #3 MT on the 7x10? Also where would I get a boring bar for this, or would it be better to take it to a shop and have them do it?
Thank you in advance for the answers.
