Boring bar

A boring bar comprising:

• a body having two axial ends and adapted to be rotatably driven around a predetermined axis,
• said body having a longitudinally extending bore open to at least one end of said body, said bore having an axis which intersects said predetermined axis at an acute angle,
• a cutting tool having an elongated shank with a cutting edge at one end, the other end of said shank being longitudinally slidably and removably received in one end of said bore at a first end of said body, and
• means insertable into the other end of said bore for both retaining said shank to said body within said bore and for resiliently urging said shank into said one end of said bore,
• a nut threadably secured to said first end of said body,
• means for locking said shank to said body at an adjustable user selected longitudinal position within said bore comprising
• a pin secured to said extending laterally outwardly from said shank, said pin being axially slidably received in a slot formed in said body, said slot being open to said first end of said body, and wherein an axial end of said nut abuts against said pin so that rotation of said nut longitudinally displaces said shank with respect to said body.
