Line boring is a very broad subject and something performed by numerous companies across the globe. This is why; you’ll find several companies engaged in manufacturing tool kits used in this process. Generally, there could be a huge difference between the tools used by two companies and those used by them depend upon the or level of expertise and the size of their business. As far as a general tool kit is concerned, you’ll find the following tool being included in it.
A line Boring bar
- It is chrome plated in most cases that is hardened and precision ground 100,000 high tensile strength alloy steel.
- The benefit of chrome is that it resists burrs and scoring to still fit the bearing even after recurring use.
- The cutting bit mounting holes are spaced 5 inches apart and there is a shank with 3-flats for solid gripping by your drill chuck.
Drill base adapter with built-in
- This will be one in number and is an important device that holds the magnetic drill press in case of power failure.
- The built-in bearing takes the load of the bearing shaft to prevent overloading of internal drill press bearings.
- It also includes mounting hole for bore welder.
Self-aligning bearings
- This tool would be two in number and the I.D. of these bearings have a perfect fit between bars and bearings.
- This gives an assurance that the holes can be bored to near zero TIR run out.
Some other very important line boring tools you’ll find are –
- 2 Bearing Plates - 3/4 inch thick to reduce vibration
- 10 Standoffs of 3 different heights
- 2 Centering Cones
- 2 Positioning Sleeves
- 7 Bore Cutting Tools of 3 types of boring and 1 chamfering
- 1 Dial Caliper - Measures 0" to 8" with dial readout to .001"
- 1 Calliper Jaw Extensions
- 1 Telescoping Bore Gage Set
- 1 Wood case
