The single-point insert design also helps reduce load on cutting edges compared to multi-tooth threading inserts, making these tools an excellent choice for efficient internal thread milling.

Here's a look at Part 2 of our Boring Head video, where we used a Shars 2" boring head to machine two different-sized holes, requiring both vertical and horizontal setups.

For the horizontal setup, we machined a Shars SCLC left hand boring bar in order to fit it down into the hole. We also used a Shars Co-Axial Center Indicator to center the workpiece.
