Custom made 3/4" boring bar up-scaled from a 3/8" boring bar that can't hold it's pants up.
Why not try your boring bar at varying degrees of rotation? You have it mounted in a collet holder that will give infinite adjustment.. -

Panel Saw Reccomendation
Not exactly what was asked about, but a track saw might work well for you. Two sawhorses and a sheet of MDF and you have a good set up for what you're doing and it stows super small.- henrya

Three of these may be the answer: https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage-organization/u-s-general-tool-storage/44-in-x-22-in-double-bank-roller-cabinet-red-64281.html Not a fan of yellow, but can look past that. (Yellow is $100 less.)- henrya

Roller cabinets on a base instead of wheels keeps looking good, but I did go and see in person some of the cheap ones and they are pretty flimsy. File cabinets are good for paper files but not so good for my use with smaller tools and things.- henrya

You’re one of the most respected resources of this site, but your comment here is completely opposite of my experience. -

You want a bar that uses CPMT inserts. High positive, small nose radius, and honed. Buy the one that is made for fine finish on aluminum if you want a fine finish and/or just taking tiny cuts. A SCLP is the correct bar for those inserts. All those attributes add up to less cutting force and... -

OT: Nearing move to new shop, need to build or buy drawers or cabinets
The price of materials is part of my quandary. Nice plywood is out of sight. When I price this out of ply and guides, I find I can buy cheap metal cabinets and not have to do any work but write a check and set them into place. All the used Lista and similar I find anywhere near me is stupidly...- henrya

OT: Nearing move to new shop, need to build or buy drawers or cabinets
One nice thing about those Blum parts is that they are not just box parts but also are the drawer glides. So they are expensive, but the money covers more than just the box. I called the New England drawer people and left a message. We’ll see where that goes. The idea of multiple roller...- henrya

OT: Nearing move to new shop, need to build or buy drawers or cabinets
In a month or two I should be able to move into my new shop. Its my last shop and I’m not leaving until I get rolled out in a wheelchair. I’d like to have 12-16 linear feet of cabinets with drawers. Probably 18-24“ wide, 20“ deep and heights from 3 to 6“. I’ve been watching the local Restore...- henrya

Stamping Oil Supply
This seems really silly to me. How much could it cost to keep a few spare 55 gallon drums of oil on hand and never run out again? Its not like buying too much milk and having it spoil. The big waste of money just happened and it was from not having enough oil on hand. No amount of spread sheet... -

Import parting blade with isosceles trapezoid profile. Opinions?
That blade will cut off clean on the acute corner. It will also pull to the side, and more if you force it. You can grind it to make it like you want. What holder do you have? These look nice. https://www.sommatool.com/catalog/cutting.tools/ttype_cutoff_blades.asp -
Putting a Python 357 barrel in a S&W pistol
This used to be a thing, but its lots easier to buy a barrel blank of whatever desired length, fit it to the revolver and then mill some contours on it to make the desired weight and pretty it up. Slab it, cut a rib down the top, some ball end grooves down the sides. On the other hand if he has...- henrya

Requesting Recommendations for a Robust Goose-neck Clamp Lamp
Good answer here. I don’t know about the asian knock offs that show up in that search, but the Manfrotto magic arms are very high quality and work extremely well. Also look at the Manfrotto arms that swivel and slide. Those would be very good for what you are asking...
