In some cases a boring bar will work less well than backlash-compensated spiral milling. And in the case of a Mini Mill (and this is a Mini Mill) the head/column stiffness is very different in X and Y directions, so you get ovality even with the slides locked. This can be partially compensated by taking tiny finishing cuts. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
