Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting. 

Internal Boring can be achieved though the Turning Profile toolpath with the turning mode set to "Inside Profiling." Turning tool definition visual previews in the tool library are defined from the perspective of a toolroom lathe, so keep that in mind. The tool will appear flipped in a slant bed lathe, but the posted code will be the same. 

This video on internal boring may be helpful.

Fusion 360 does not currently allow for boring bars with no tip and you'll need to create a boring bar with a tip that matches the geometry of your physical tool as closely as possible. If you can share details on the tool you are working with I am happy to give it a shot!
