Guest Kheldar Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Let me open this issue up to the masses then and see if anyone can devise a way to do what I'm after I have a focuser that I want to fit to an OTA. It's mounting plate is incompatible with the OTA holes and I do NOT want to drill the OTA again. The mounting plate that I have that fits the drilled holes in the OTA has a central focuser hole of say X mm wide. My replacement focuser has a diameter (to go into that hole) of about X+2 mm In short, I need to get the central hole of a focuser mounting plate bored out by about 2mm, with as clean/machined finish as possible. Any takers? Edited January 23, 2012 by Kheldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
