Finish machining the cylinder bore, slightly undersize, with a simple boring bar with a quickly made and diamond honed high speed steel cutter. The bore will then be honed to leave a fine crosshatch finish and bring it to final size.
Thanks for posting this. I'm about to start on a Redwing kit myself so will be interested to see any vids of your future progress. I'm thinking of machining the bore in my vertical mill using a boring head as my Colchester Bantam 2000 doesn't have tee slots in the cross-slide. Comments appreciated!
about the only video of boring between centres i can find! thanks for uplaoding
can you set at what diameter you bore at?
how do you do it?
