Hi folks- I have a couple of holes I need to drill and then tap M4. The issue is that I can't get to the spot with a regular length drill bit- I need about 4 more inches. I can make the tap work, it's the drilling that is causing me the issues. I haven't found a bit extension that will work. So here is what I am thinking- take some rod, chuck it up in the lathe, maybe 1/4 or 3/8, drill as close to a slip fit as I can for the 3.3mm bit and then red locktite the bit in and make an extended bit. Opinions? Am I crazy to think this will work? Thanks!
