Not really, it's not mine, I would not buy one of those, I am used to my two sided ladder.

Is that an old Cat 922 or 944 on the trailer in the background?

CM, all the glass was broken out, door was damaged, it was easier to remove the cab and work on it at ground level, also inside where it was warm so the urethane would cure better.

Tom, I'm a relatively new poster that has been lurking for a long time. I am about to embark a line boring mission on my own equipment, one because no one locally does portable line boring and secondly because I have the mechanical skills and time to do it myself versus spending a large chunk at mill shop. My question I guess is; are there relatively economical ways for me to build own boring tools? or should I dive in and try to buy a system?

Depends what STOODY product you are using, I use STOODY 101HC 1/16" with 75-25 gas@26v, 200a, dc reverse. If it was
.045 I would start at 22v 150a wire speed you will have to play with.
Good luck with it.
