I am trying to drill a barrel nut for the gas tube and can't get a straight hole. Hole is .200"
I've been trying different methods after scrapping this part, tight pilot hole undersized pilot hole, multiple length drill bits, power feed, manual feed, peck every 50 tho ... I've used new drill bits and freshly sharpened drill bits. Pilot holes were done with a 4 flute end mill. I don't have a little boring bar (yet) or a reamer in this size.
Suggestions appreciated.
