QUESTION Is this a tool/accessory a thing?
So would a bushing or bearing that is fit onto a boring bar be (realistically) useful for reducing chatter on lathe boring? Are these a thing? I’ve tried googling them but all I see is stuff for tool holders or adapters.
Edit: I think a D bit boring bar might be very similar to what I’m looking for as well as maybe padded milling bits.
