A different style boring head

[Frank S]

olderdan, to coin a phrase a mans got to do what a mans got to do. While it may not be as user friendly as a more conventional dovetailed slide it is very stable due largely to both eccentrics having a close fit and the crescent lock fits snugly in both the head body and the tool holder groves pressure from the set bolt which I will be changing out for a regular set screw the next time I manage to go to a good hardware store only needs light pressure to securely lock the 2 parts together.
I figured out that later should I decide to do so I can mark indexing lines around the tool holder and place a single mark on the head which will make it easier to see how much to rotate the holder for a given bore diameter.
I can put a real short carbide tool in it and use it as a single point surface or tramming mill head so I am more than pleased with the outcome even if it does look hoggy I wasn't tying to win a beauty contest with it
