yeah? well, i have a TON of drill bits in various sizes, but i dont have anything THAT big. plus, i would need a 32nd fractional bit right? the next size up from 5/8" is 11/16" right? and that is 0.6875". i need to get to 0.6693". its only 0.182". i would need like a 21/32nd" drill bit (which would probably be impossible to find!).

i guess if i have to track down and buy a 21/32" drill bit for $20 online, then get a $20 17mm reamer from somewhere, i might as well just get a 11/16" hub, shim it with something and call it a day. i just got some more cash, so im really that much closer to going CNC. but, i need to learn, so i would like to do this first, even if i only use it for a week or so. i just dont want CNC to be my first attempt at modifying this machine, i need the practice.

all the index sets ive seen only go up to 1/2" though. i need just slightly beyond that.

Enco has a jobber length 21/32" drill bit for $4.86 and no 17 mm reamers but they do have an adjustable 21/32"-23/32" reamer that would cover the 17mm size for less than $11.00
