Working on a project that requires a .750 bored hole in a block of steel. I have no boring setup for the mill and I wouldn't trust that to come out straight with my quill anyway. So I really need to use the lathe to do it. Problem is the hole is way off-center and so it puts the chuck greatly out of balance. To spin it up to 560 RPM was making the whole bench dance.
I tried this setup and it cuts the shaking down to a much more tolerable level but I can't totally eliminate it. I'm just not sure I trust this. Thought I would ask before I tried it. I'm not sure how well my carbide boring bar is going to handle this because there is no way I would want to turn this up to 720 or 1200 RPM.
I'm thinking about forgetting this and perhaps busting out the face-plate where I would have more leeway to balance it out better but I'm not real clear on using that yet.
