Everede, the best boring bar

[Karl_T]

I was introduced to Everede boring bars in machine shop school, about 1980. They are simply the best non insert boring bars made. You can get the cutting bit in either HSS or carbide. they are resharpen-able.

Being a cheap skate, I shop eBay. Most folks don't know about these, so I score them cheap:

With this purchase, I now have a lifetime supply. So, I'll let my little secret out

How do you re-sharpen, using jig, or off-hand?
Any pictures of sharpening setup?

Thanks Karl..

I just sharpen free hand with bit already installed.

If using carbide bits you need a green wheel or, much better, a diamond wheel

I have a set in a wood box. Great tools.

I have a pretty nice collection of them from 7/32" up to 1", including a couple of carbide shank one's, too.
Back when I could see better, I ground a tool bit for the 7/32" bar to single point 10 pitch Acme thread in the cross feed nut for my 9" SBL.

Someone scarfed up about fifteen short boring bars on eBay for just under $45 today. Wasn't me.
