Abstract
A boring bar has a generally cylindrical elongate tool body has a proximal end for mounting to drive unit and a distal end for attachment to a tool head. A passageway extends longitudinally along the central axis of the elongate tool body. A plurality of longitudinally extending cavities are disposed annularly about the tool body. A compressive material is disposed in each of the cavities. An adjustable compression fitting is disposed in at least one end of each of the cavities, where each of the compression fitting can be adjusted to change compression of the material disposed in a respective cavity.
