Winner Ultra-Small Boring Head

[Dave Smith]

The Moore is a taper fit on the shaft. Yours does appear to be a straight shaft. If you don't have to take it apart, leave it intact. It looks to be threaded on. It's a tough call.

Bill---well curiousity got the best of me and I was sure it was a threaded shaft--so I carefully put a little twist on the 1" sleeve while holding the boring head in a crescent wrench not to scratch it--well it came unscrewed just like it should--and it does have a short tapered shaft with threads on the end like I guessed----real professionally done----well then I figured I might as well dis mantle the little boring head and take some pictures for you---it was very difficult to get real good pictures but I'll send you nine to look at----sure is a cute little bugger----somehow I think you will be making one like this someday----you definately have the skills and tools and patience----------------------------Dave------------------------)

That is one beautiful piece of work. That taper is for a small Jig Bore. Amazing.

aside from the great write up on the project, I just gotta ask: when you say your allowed an hour here and an hour there or two hours to be in your shop, what is it that you do in your "non-shop" time ? I know its none of my business but im just nosey

:lmao: For the most part I am in the shop 80% of the time. The other 20% is spent thinking about being in the shop. It was only on this project that time was limited. :lmao:
