You'll still need to center-bore the hole through the thing, which, while not hard, does require some skill and a set of centering drills. Personally, I'd probably find a friend with a home machine shop and buy him a suitable quantity of his beverage of choice to do the job. Home machinists don't own a shop because they *hate* machining. --Chuck
