Hi Gents,
.
Thought I'd let you know what I ended up doing here.
.
I took a punt on this 20mm boring bar: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RDGTOOLS-2...E:L:OU:GB:3160
.
Clamped a milling vice to my cross slide and then the tool in the vice and took things very slowly <0.5mm DoC per pass and other than a couple of hard spots where the tool "dug in" and stalled, everything worked out OK to a depth of 160mm. I was very naughty having the tool oriented in the vice so it could have slipped downwards as that 's the direction of cutting force and its certainly not something I would have tried in steel for sure.
.
I must see if I can find a suitable vertical slide for this machine, as then the tool would definitely be better clamped and would also be handy for the milling head, which I use for light, quick and dirty manual milling.
.
Cheers for the advice chaps.
.
Chris
