              As for machining the bore tom
              I've seen a similar caliper being machined and the tool is placed on an arm and is done on a mill
              Hard to explain and as the tool arm was so thin I couldn't understand how the arm didn't vibrate
              Ill try and find the video

              Unfortunately the video I have seen is in Chinese
