help finding boring bar

[jeff]

For some reason, every manufacturer on this planet has decided to stop making the MVQNR style of boring bar.

Does anyone use this style? It's a VNMG 33 series insert with a 117.5 approach angle. Typically has a 1-1/4" shank.

Our lathe guys smashed ours all to hell and we need a new one lol.

Does anyone have any reputable repair shops that does their tooling?

I've used bars with a 117.5 approach angle, but not with that big of a shank.

How bad is the pocket? We've sent a few to Ultra-dex for pocket repair, and had good results.

If you're in MI, they are located near Flint.
