I am in the planing stage of make a quill stop plate for my mill. My question is how can I bore a 3.535 hole in 5/8 aluminum plate? My 2 " boring head screws on to a r8 arbor and all my boring bars (cheapy) have the cutting edge in the wrong place when mounted horizontal in the boring head. I can't run the mill in reverse or it would unscrew the arbor from the boring head. Hope I made some sense out of that.
I hope I am missing something really simple.
I am actually planning on cutting the bulk out with bandsaw and then clean up the hole to size by boring.
