Material is 304 ss tube, 10” diameter, 1/8” thick.
I need to drill a 4” hole so that the centerline of the drill meets the centerline of the 10” diameter tube at a 45 deg angle.
Precision is pretty important. It’s a tig welding fit up...so while I have room, just not a lot.
In a perfect world I’d have a 4” annular cutter, but my max is 3 3/8”.
Right now I’m thinking about just making a wooden buck to support the pipe from the inside, then starting with the 3 3/8 and then using boring head. This doesn’t sound like fun.
Any other ideas likely to be found in a traditional shop?
