Just want to thank You again for the excellent tip of re using the Paul Horn mini boringbars! 👍 I never used them before due to price, but now use regrounds extensively. Made a few holders for the lathe and boring head. I like the P Horn holding system better than the others I had, I am actually quite impressed by the stability and depth of cut that works despite their tinynes... Easy to change tools as well. Found a 16mm MEGA holder (B105.0016.01) that is offset and perfect for regrinding and relieving in the D-bit grinder, the offset is usually perfect for reliefs when re purposing an old insert.

My wheels come from an Ukrainian manufacturer - I generaly use two grits, D126 for roughing and D40 for finishing. I usualy dress them with a piece of molybdenium, followed by the sharpening stick, to dress the resin binder back and make the wheel cut again. If a cup wheel is off very much, you can also lap it flat on a piece of glas with Silicone carbide lapping compound. I showed that in a video earlier this year ;)

Thanks a lot for this very valuable video! I just bought 2 of these very same grinders, one for my own shop and one for a company I do work for. Made the decision based on Yours and Robins videos. Making carbide boring bars seems really useful to me. My production of raw material for these is in the mill is no problem... Also intend to try a CBN cup to decrease dust and perhaps get a bit more repeatability over a number of parts. Present project is to facet grind some very small parts with tight tolerances in some different hardened steels. Btw I ordered 6 extra wheel holders, they are under 30 euros each.

Great video and interesting take on small carbide tools. Very cool little machine for grinding. Years ago we did similar tools by hand on the basic “bench” diamond grinders with adjustable tables. That always involved an acid brush full of kerosene for coolant flying in your face to keep the diamond wheel clean. A hand-held die grinder with a small diamond wheel was used for adding chip breakers, etc. l get the carbide rigidity thing but still like the idea of custom carbide-tipped tools and high-speed too. Keep up the good work!

I guess that I am not just very good. LOL.

Very cool. Someday I will grind my own small carbide boring bars but until then I will stick with my Circle Machine carbide boring bars. You will be amazed at what they can do. Circle Machine guarantees a 10:1 ratio with moderate feeds and believe me they can do it. I have a 5/32” (4MM) CM bar that takes miniature CDCD inserts with either a .002 or .007” nose radius and have had no issues boring 1.5”. I got it all for about $100 with a handful of inserts. Look for them on Ebay. You can find them in metric too and they use the same inserts

Stefan, it seems to me that you could somewhat increase the stiffness, or get a deeper eccentric for the same stiffness, by grinding a larger radius on the eccentric portion. For clearance, the radius on the eccentric cut doesn't have to be any less than the radius of the blank. You would end up with an (American) football-shaped cross section on the shaft. The downside, I guess, is that you would leave less room for chips to flee.

The PH Horn bars look very nice and you can get them in bunches, but I couldn't find a toolholder anywhere and couldn't make one in a hurry so I went with the Micro100 ones...They have a much simpler toolholder with comparable repeatability and their only downfall is being imperial sizes. They offer blanks too! PS: Since I made a 1/8" toolholder I silver braze tiny carbide tips on the tool steel shanks of PCB drills and it works great. Also the deep neck is used to avoid torsion and thus prevent rotation in the holder, as the edge is on the centerline. The PH Horn ones won't be that susceptible to this. Finally you want to make sure that the back side of a "solid" carbide endmill is actually carbide. Just balance it on your finger...the flute side should be lighter than the shank side. Most of them are not as solid as the name implies....

Very informative! I"ll probably never have a use for this information (LOL), but I still love learning about it. I really liked this video as is the case with probably every video you've made, honestly and I'm pretty sure I've watched all of them. One of these days I'll get around to getting some basic metal working equipment, but the house I live in now has ANCIENT wiring and I literally have fuses and not breakers (15A for the wall plugs, and a 30A for the washer/drier). Yeah we gotta fix that, but the house will be sold in the next year or two and I'll be in a different one with up-to-date wiring and a nice heated workroom in the basement. What would you recommend if I had to get one thing, a smallish lathe or a milling machine? I've always wanted a small lathe for making metal parts. I absolutely LOVED using my woodshop class wood carving lathe even though the tools were crap and the lathe was not exactly treated well by the High School kids. Once I get all my debts paid off, I'll probably get a lightly used lathe and mill locally haha. We'll see - it's all a dream now, but a completely reasonable one if I get my sh*t together with my money - I make plenty, but spent more. Stupid credit cards, it's all their fault - I take no responsibility! /s

@@StefanGotteswinter I've also been wondering if the _sole_ purpose of the "eccentric section" is to ensure that there is nothing behind the "½-diameter flat head section" that can rub against the inside of the bore. _If_ that is the case, then must the boring bar be clamped such that it is parallel to the axis of rotation of the lathe chuck? In other words- the boring bar is obviously _fed_ *straight into* the workpiece when it is used, but must it also be _clamped_ that way? What if it was clamped at a slight angle? (anti-clockwise by a few degrees) Then there wouldn't _be_ anything to rub against the "inner wall" of the bore no matter how far in you went. Right?
