In that case, if aesthetics isn't an issue, I would consider a slightly larger through hole. A perfect broached hole 25 mm deep will ideally remove 120 mm3 of material. An 8.2 mm diameter hole 35 mm deep will theoretically remove 119 mm3 of material while an 8.15mm diameter hole will remove 131 mm3 of material. Both of these options provide more contact area than a standard 12 pt socket. Here is screen shot of an 8.15mm hole broached with an 8 mm broach.Extra pushing force will not be a issue as i am using a 10 ton press. And the pushing force will not even come close to the capacity of the press.
Yes i do.
