Title: Line Bore Tool
Post by: number3 on November 18, 2009, 01:18:06 PM

Picked this up this line bore tool the other day.  Anyone recognize what brand it may be.  There are no markings on the tools or the case.

It looks like a Cold Form line bore kit.  They have a really nice Thrust cutter setup ( it's there as well )
As Jim says the Cutters are set on the bar and you leave it alone.
You get another bar for the next oversize settings, Most shops have 3 bars a .50mm, 1.0mm and perhaps the 1.5mm although that one is not used as much,
