Yeah units are kinda important for this sort of stuff.

Yeah, there are ways around this.

I’m just tired.

You’re just 150 or so psi under inflated!

Can’t say I understand his logic there. This would have been a slam dunk doing it in two pieces.

You could have this perfectly square and the bit still would have wandered at least somewhat. No raw material is perfectly homogeneous when it comes to hardness, and over 10 inches at that diameter you’re pushing a wet noodle that will follow the path of least resistance.

Unless the owner wants to spring for a 10 inch long 4 inch diameter bit. That’d work…

Congrats! You’ll come out of this job with a lot of tricks under your belt.

Gotcha, it sounds like it is fine to have a little extra clearance on the ID, which helps us here. I do recommend flipping the piece and squaring it back up best you can. If you have enough meat to start a short, stiff, small diameter center drill from the offset end, you at least know they’ll meet approximately in the middle.

Keep the dia small for as deep as you can go with wall thickness between the new hole and the old, offset hole. Then step back up to your smallest diameter drill that’ll reach like 1/3 of the way through the part. Keep the speed per guidelines with the material, but turn those feeds down super slow. The drill WILL eventually jump back into the existing hole, probably breaking the drill in the process. The goal is to get as deep as possible.

This is a challenging task for the equipment you’ve been given. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Next time they want something like this, make four of them at 1/4 the length and weld them together.

What is the part for and how coaxial does it need to be? This sort of operation is far better suited to a gun drill, but we might be able to get you close enough depending on the requirements.

It’s really, really hard to straighten out a crooked hole. Anything 10 inches long is just going to want to follow the existing hole.

They’re pretty anti consumer

That sounds rough. Good luck with the appointment on Monday and hang in there!

Also never hurts to get a second opinion if you feel your treatment isn’t working. Docs don’t take offense to a request for that.
