Hi
I seem to have made an error and drilled a 6.25mm hole 0.8mm out of alignment in a 10mm steel plate. It has to be a lot closer than that as it has a 2mm oring seal in an 11mmx1.3mm recess on the top and screws into a third party component. The question is how to fix it. If I just correct the offset there is a good chance the oring will leak. If I plug it using steel fixed with epoxy and re-drill the piece left would be very small. I could make the hole bigger and fit it with say an M10 threaded piece which could then be drilled in the correctly, but I don't think I have enough room. Alternately, I could put the hole in the correct place leaving an oval hole, but then counterbore the hole to say 3.3mm depth with an 11mm mill and epoxy fit a 2mm thick insert for the oring to seal against.
Any better ideas much appreciated.
Best Regards
