Is that a boring bar or fly cutter

1891 German ''Weltrekord'' Ratchet Screwdriver - Restoration

I would say that is a boring head

Yes, but the cutting tool in the boring head is a boring bar.

Boring bar held in a boring head, which is mounted in a vertical milling attachment. Looks like the guy is using a three in one machine: Combination of lathe, vertical mill head, drill press.

Or he could just chuck the bar up in a collet in a vertical spindle. Lots of ways to skin the Cougar. Similar to the setup below:




He is using 5C collets in the lathe spindle, similar to mine below:



I would have slotted the screw in my small horizontal mill using a slitting saw. Set up with
the 5C collet holder/indexer, instead of the V Block setup below.

I did not watch all of the video, but he has a lot of free time on his hands. A hell of an amount of work for a silly screwdriver!

Those videos are immensely popular on youtube, and generate huge incomes for some of the people making them. It's not about the screwdriver, it's about the entertainment value of watching the video and getting paid for the three commercials imbedded in it.

Ah Ha! Actors again.

I am not a Facebook member, so the only time I see a Facebook video is here on AR.

I can clearly see from watching the video, I’m in desperate need of a manicure.

Nap time!

While I admire his skill set, I couldn't help but think he needed some background music on the video. 'Too Much Time On My Hands' comes to mind.

Sorry. No clue about fixtures alike a boring bar. I enjoyed all of the video. Thanks for that. Taking a POS and making it fresh never gets old. To each his own though. Probably a total bore to those of you who have lots of hours on a mill.
