I have some old Eastman Kodak enlarging lens. Not sure just what qualities
they have but I would like to try them with my Beseler enlarger. All of the
lens boards I have found are boarded for 39mm these lens appear to be about
45mm in diameter. How can I adapt these lens for my enlarger?

Any camera repairman, many camera stores and any machinist can mill the
hole to the larger size.

or you can buy, rent, borrow a Greenlee Chasis Punch of the correct size
and do it yourself.

Before you do that, make a quick check to see if it would fit. Someone
gave me a Schneider Componon 240mm f/5.6 enlarging lens and the rear
element would not fit into the opening of my 45MCRX. It might have been
possible to unscrew it from the diaphragm assembly and stick it in from
just below the lens stage and screw it back, but I had no need of it so I
never tried that.
