I ran into a problem making some slimline pens last week. I have never made a slimline that required me to reverse paint the tube until last week and when I did the tube wouldn't fit after I painted the blank. I ended up slightly reaming out the hole using a .270 cal brass bore brush mounted in my drill press. However, this made the hole just big enough that when I sanded the blank to the final size I sanded through the blank and into the epoxy at one end.
A 7mm drill bit is .2756 inches. I have been thinking of trying a J drill bit which is .277 inches.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
