My $0.02
I wouldnt disagree with this, but I would like to ask; at what cost?
You dont need the "factory" tool to have the ears bored. Any machinist worth his salt could do the job on a horizontal boring mill, in deep jawed chuck on a lathe, or a verticle mill, no sweat.
Of course I am talking a real machinst...Not some "on button" jocky they call machinists these daze.
