Calibrated inline boring bar

[Toolmaker51]

Andy has first dibs and I really hope he gets them Those are one of the brands I was trying to think of the other day in a conversation with TM51 along a similar train of thought for a machine I am considering

My legendary psychic powers could be waning........ Normally can hear a mere whisper 'DeVlieg' far away. Anyone reading the lathes.UK link will understand.
Spoiler alert. It's epic.

BTW Frank S; a small handful of those have potential for that idea; with proper support, given a place to start. They range in size, per Jack H's picture, proper clearance, micro adjustable. Wouldn't say available everywhere, but not impossible either. DeVlieg lives on in Bourn & Koch, seems some outfits make them too.
