Have a couple .393 (10mm) holes on some pretty big expensive chunks of stainless. I just got done with the first hole, and the reamer cut .005 oversize. First, is there any way to fix that? I'm thinking it's too big for the ball bearing trick... I'm considering pressing a piece in there and turning the part 180 degrees. Is there any other way to fix this problem?
Secondly, what in the world did I do to made this thing cut .005 over? I pilot drilled with a 27/64, and then reamed at 220 rpm, 2.3 ipm. Cobalt drill, hss reamer.
If you have any ideas, that'd be great!
Thanks for your input,
