This may be a silly question, but I'm curious if there is a reason NOT to use an indexable BB in a boring head on a mill. As I look through a couple of catalogs, I don't see an indexable BB referenced as some kind of optional cutter for boring heads - only as a lathe application.
My boring head takes 3/4" shank cutters, and the cutters that came w/ the "set" are difficult to freshen up w/ hand grinding as there isn't much material to remove before you're well into the brazing and shank body.
I thought this might be a more expedient way to keep a fresh cutter on the boring head. Am I breaking new ground, missing something obvious, or dangerously close to a catastrophy?
Thanks.
