We have all done it a time or six, might as well share this less than optimal setup!
I need to attach a 35# cast iron Kettle Bell to a hydraulic cylinder rod so, I'm starting with a 2" deep socket (at an odd angle of course).
With the odd angles, shape and height of this, I chose the drill press rather than build something to stabilize it on the Bport. A 2x4 block with a ratchet strap around the column was solid enough to NOT break any cutters. Started with a 1" deep annular cutter (cheaper) to give a guide for the 2" deep cutters. Drilled 2", 1 1/2" and 1" holes then chipped the waste out.
