No, its not, for horizontal boring, but IIRC I was able to rotate the view and get something semi-useful. I've set the head of my Grizzly G0704 to horizontal and used it that way. Including carving the holder for the round motor I was working on the shaft of. Wasn't all that hard to do in axis. Biggest problem was re-tramming the head back to vertical when I was done. The glued on scale marking for the rotation of the head weren't near accurate enough. Off a couple degrees at least. But its a Chinese mill, $1189 in a box in the back of my pickup about 5 years back at the Lycoming Mall PA store they had then. Making it accurate IS up to the user. :) Boring depth will be limited by how much tool projects from the spindle unless swinging a fly cutter bigger that the spindle OD. That /might/ get you to 2" deep.
