Line Boring LB40

The Winona Van Norman LB Series Line Boring Machines are built to deliver exceptional accuracy, rigidity, and dependability for precision line boring applications. Engineered for professional engine rebuilding, remanufacturing, and high-production machine shops, the LB Series restores main bearing bores to precise factory specifications, ensuring proper crankshaft alignment, bearing fit, and long-term engine reliability. Designed to handle automotive, diesel, marine, and industrial engine blocks, these machines provide the precision required for today’s demanding machining applications.
Constructed with exceptionally heavy cast iron base castings, the LB Series virtually eliminates machine deflection for superior accuracy throughout the boring process. Precision-machined surfaces and versatile universal fixtures securely position engine blocks, while the fully gear-driven boring bar rotation and feed system, powered by a robust 2 HP motor, delivers smooth, chatter-free cutting with greater durability than conventional belt-driven designs. Variable speed and feed controls allow operators to optimize machining performance for different block materials and bore sizes, while conveniently located controls provide complete visibility and easy adjustments during operation.
Designed to maximize productivity, the Winona Van Norman LB Series features an extended spindle travel that allows more bores to be machined before repositioning the tooling, reducing setup time and increasing shop efficiency. Combining heavy-duty construction, precision engineering, and reliable long-term performance, the LB Series provides the accuracy, repeatability, and durability professional machine shops rely on to consistently produce superior line boring results.

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
Larger sizes available upon request.
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.
