Prior to mid-2014, Reed’s DMPVC machines had a 2-piece boring bar.
Mid-2014 the design was changed to a 1-piece boring bar. If replacement
parts are needed, be sure to refer to the proper design. Reference Reed
RP-0414-16 for parts.
RETROFIT THE 2-PIECE BORING BAR TO THE 1-PIECE BORING BAR:
Unscrew the feed nut from the main body and then from the boring bar.
Slide the old boring bar out the far end of the main body and replace with
the new revised boring bar #94205, thread on the new feed nut #94204.
The original feed nut cannot be used with the new boring bar #94205.
