<p>A reconfigurable cutting tool (10) includes a boring head (12) at one end, an attachment portion (16) at a second end that is opposite the first end, and a boring bar (14) disposed between the boring head (12) and the attachment portion (16). The boring bar (14) is made of a shape memory material such that a geometry of the reconfigurable boring tool (10) is selectively changed in response to an activation signal from a temperature controlling processor (20).
