Line Boring LB20

The Winona Van Norman LB Series Line Boring Machines are engineered to provide unmatched precision, rigidity, and reliability for restoring main bearing bores to factory specifications. Designed for professional engine rebuilding, remanufacturing, and industrial machine shops, the LB Series delivers the accuracy required to ensure proper crankshaft alignment, bearing fit, and overall engine performance. Its heavy-duty construction and precision machining capabilities make it the ideal solution for automotive, diesel, marine, and industrial engine applications where tight tolerances are essential.
Built for superior machining performance, the LB Series features exceptionally heavy cast iron base castings that virtually eliminate deflection during operation, ensuring consistent accuracy throughout every boring cycle. Precision-machined surfaces and versatile universal fixtures securely position engine blocks for maximum stability, while the fully gear-driven boring bar rotation and feed system, powered by a robust 2 HP motor, provides smooth, chatter-free cutting and greater long-term durability than conventional belt-driven machines. Variable speed and feed controls allow operators to optimize machining parameters for different engine materials and bore sizes, giving complete control over every operation.
Designed to maximize productivity, the Winona Van Norman LB Series incorporates an extended spindle travel that allows multiple bores to be machined with fewer interruptions for tooling repositioning, reducing setup time and increasing shop efficiency. Combining rugged construction, precision engineering, and dependable long-term performance, the LB Series delivers the repeatable accuracy, reliability, and productivity professional machine shops rely on for high-quality line boring results every day.

Product Information
Operations
Boring bar rotation and feed are fully gear-driven. Combined with the 2 HP drive motor, this ensures rapid, chatter-free cuts and extended longevity compared to belt-drive systems. Speed and feed rates have a wide range of adjustments to match the characteristics of engine block material and the size of the bores. Because of the convenient controls, the operator can keep close watch on the boring process and can easily make speed adjustments if necessary.
Specifications
Base castings are exceptionally heavy to eliminate any possibility of deflection, while the precision machined surfaces and excellent universal fixtures position work pieces securely during operation.
Features
A special feature of the LB Series machines is their unusually long spindle travel which allows blocks to be bored with fewer interruptions to reposition the tooling.
