We received a request today to quote drilling 144 holes in a 8'-3 1/2" bolt circle. 108 of the holes are 3/8" dia., and 36 are 13/16". We have not been told what the tolerances are yet. When our estimator asked me about it, I told him to find out what the customer needed. The material is a rolled 5" x 3" x 3/8" angle ring. I know good and well that we're not going to quote this thing. We're a fab shop and not a machine shop equiped to handle this, and maintain any kind of a close tolerance. I'm just curious how some of you might do this, if a half way close tolerance needs to be held.
Thank,
