You need a facing head to bore the hole. But there is absolutely no reason that you can't circularly-interpolate a tapered hole. You could even use a tapered milling cutter if you wanted a better finish. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
