Sorry for a potentially ignoramous question, but...
Can the following style of boring bars be used in the horizontal position of boring head style pictured?
I have a 2" vertex boring head like shown, with the through hole. I'm looking to get some boring bars and hoping they can be used in the vertical (upright) and horizontal position if ever needed.
What I can't tell is if there's enough clearance when used in the horizontal position.
The pic of the single boring bore looks like it is slightly angled and would provide clearance.
Open to suggestions on good quality ones too... it seems all these from whoever are all the same, no real difference. I'd love if they came in CCMT style insert instead of the TCMT just because I already have many CCMT shaped inserts.
