What tool to use for offset boring head milling?

I'm trying to bore a .350" hole on a Haas mill with a Criterion offset boring head and tools:

I tried using a "boring bar" tool but nothing I do seems to work for dimensions.

 

 

So, how do I set this up?

 

1) "boring bar" -- doesn't seem to work and I have no examples to look at

2) "end mill" -- no, this could move the center and I want vertical motion only

3) "reamer" -- maybe?

 

My "Bore6" operation is the one I want to be a boring tool.

 

 

 

Thanks.
