Making a solid brass flange on lathe

[brino]

Since the depth is only 1/4" I'd just do it with a HSS bit.
No need for a boring bar.

I did see it as an excuse to learn boring methods and buy another piece of kit.

Well then I retract my statement.
Never let it be said that I stood in the way of anyone needing a reason to buy another tool!
