Another video from my workshop.

It's not really about the boring, it just turned out this way (no pun intended). I am just doing a small project to solve a minor nuisance. And I have a self-centering inside micrometer I wanted to try. It has a range of 30 -35 mm so I needed to make a hole that size.
Also trying a form tool on my small lathe (210 x 400 / 8x16") and getting more chatter then I hoped for. I wonder if people with a similar lathe have similar problems.

In the mean time I use the form tool for the part I actually made it for, but it needed a lot of extra grinding, because It needed to round the edge of a hole and it didn't have clearance for it.
