   There are dedicated boring machines for production work as well as several combo machines that have horizontal boring.

   You can build jigs to make a router cut in almost any direction.Think guillotine with a router bit sticking out 90deg. to the blade. Or turn your perspective,sometimes its easier to step back and rethink.

   I want to thank you for reminding of how versatile power tools can be, especially with the use of jigs.  The router is such a tool, but I had not thought of it for this application.  You are right, one does need to step back and think of a tools abilities as well as its possibilities.  Thanks again.

   How about a wood lathe with a jacobs chuck?
