D'Andrea boring head

[Maker]

Tom Lipton had one on his Monday Night Meatloaf, it's like a normal boring head but it can be adjusted while the machine is running, and it has an autofeed so it can be used for facing.

Skip to 11:20 to see it.
I think it would set you back a few hundred £££ though.
Ever seen anything like it?

You get Walhaupter ones come up quite regularly on eBay and the like.

I'll keep an eye out for those, not that I'll be able to afford one. Any idea how they work?

Looked a good bit of kit

My friend picked up a similar one, boring and facing head for about £50 off ebay. Not sure what make but a quality item. Just got to be patient and wait.
It was int or bt 40 taper cant rember which which probably helped as the 16mm draw bar thread is less common. Anyway it worked out cheaper than a chinese POS from Rdg. If you were trying to find a Bridgeport R8 one I think you'd end up paying more as more people are interested. What taper is the Tom senior is it Int 30?

Here's one for sale if anyone's interested.
