Hi All,
The tooling that came with my mill included an assortment of brazed carbide boring bars like these. They were packed in and around the Wohlhaupter UPA3 and Swiss boring heads, though some of them, like the two on the left, are too large in diameter (19/20mm) to fit.

I've used the leftmost two tools on the lathe to make internal grooves in steel, they work very well. My question is, are the various bars shown in the photo intended to be used for boring on a lathe or in a boring head on a mill, or does it not matter, because such bars are interchangable?
Cheers,
Bruce
