Earlier this spring I welded up a hollowing rig system but never got around to making any boring bars for it. I have plenty of 3/4" stainless steel rod for the bars and have been looking on E-bay for some bits. Does it matter if the bits are (HSS) or cobalt or carbide. If we are only cutting wood will any of them work? Also some of the bits were made for only right hand or left hand cutting. For our use will I be reshaping the bits anyway?
I bought a small 1/4" square set at Harbor Freight that had 5 bits in it. (2 right, 2 left and a pointed bit). Does anyone have good close photos of what they are using for bits?
