Drilling holes Correcting mistakes in hole locations

What is the best way to catch a rat to get its tail? I already have plenty of vices.

If you got a welder, drill out the hole bigger till the hole is big enough to cover the place where you want it. Put a copper rod where you want the hole and weld up the rest.

Then grind it smooth.

or if you have problems use a copper tube and run water through it.

A milling machine.

Or a die grinder with a 4 flute endmill in it. Not for the faint of heart.....or those that are bleeders

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the s*it out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner

Next time, get an optical center punch!

Hand filing is often overlooked by people who love machines.

Clamp your work well, use a sharp file (new one if necessary), watch the angles you use as you hold the file, and you may be amazed as to how much control you have and how much metal you can remove in a short time.
