WOW...?,
Sorry didn't mean to set you off there. Perhaps I could use some more people skills. You spend 20+ years in the shop working 60-80 hours a week and the one thing that suffers is your people skills. Sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention. There was alot of good free information there if you open up your mind some of it. Now don't take that wrong either.
I never attempt to drill extremely small ejector pin on my VMC. I only do them manually and you have to have a feel for it.
The Yes and NO answer came off wrong. You actually asked two questions. The first was Yes the second was NO. I explained later on more in depth.
You've taken every thing I said wrong. Must be lost in translation or something. I suggested that you shouldn't attempt drilling these holes unless you are skilled at that. Then a gave you several ways around this. There is no Right and wrong way of doing something as long as the outcome is acceptable to you or your customer. I've worked at over a dozen shops and owned my own for 10 years. Every one has their own way of doing things and I found that arguing about it accomplishes nothing. I tried to talk in laymans terms when I can, but there are alot of buzz words. People from different parts of the country call things differently i.e. "A half, cavity, stationary side, B half, ejector side, core, movable side, Cams, Slides, lifters"
You folks on that side of the pond sure are touchy?
