Making a set of sleeves for a QCTP boring bar holder

[Skippyman]

This is a good tip since I do not have a milling machine (yet).
Thanks,

I've built sleeves for set screw bar holders with simple clearance holes to allow the original screws to bear against the bar directly. Of course, in an extreme case, like a 2" holder sleeved down to 1/2", longer screws will need to be subbed in.

Thanks. It definitely takes much longer to take pictures and write about than it does to do it.

For getting a good finish I seem to have better luck using sharp HSS than I do with carbide.

AINT THAT THE TRUTH
