    I've spent many hours line boring ""stationary" parts, like main bearing bores on big presses. we used a pretty much all shop built hydraulic set up to turn the bar and feed it.

    Yup. Line boring is a big deal, particularly on job sites. We did a few 40-ish foot wide ones last year. They weren't continuous, but there were bushings at each end that had to line up. So we needed a bar that long to go between both bushings. It was on one of the two machines in this video (either foreground or background, not sure which).

    The video too brief 'down hole' to be accurately guessed, could be engine cylinder, main bearings, yoke of construction machinery, any of a variety of pumps, infinite range. Near certainly too big or far to haul indoors to a jobber. Can't get a good pause on the label of the rotating head, but one commercial example is called 'Rottler'. Over time many manufacturers, but always called a portable boring bar. Everything is included to mount in place, locate centerline, affix cutters and proceed.
