Anyone bought one of these boring tools?
I am looking at one of thes case/head cutting tools for some head machining I need to do. If anyone has bought one I would like to hear about it.
Seems like a good tool to have for home workshop use.

I had a Berg one that was a breeze to use a real quality tool that was used for hemi cutting on a drill press, but I don't think they are accurate
enough for case or head seal surface as you can't guarantee the same for neighboring cylinders.

There's a hemi cutting version and a fly cutting/case boring version. Not a cheap tool though. US$400+
Dont know if its worth buying it or just keep using machine shops.
Anyone in Brisbane you would recommend for head work?

I am VERY particular who I use for heads and machining, in Bris use Crankshaft Engineering Ph 3806 7488, or Swft Racing Engines Ph 3277 9792.
