I've done it. You've got to get a flute lined up just right, and you can only go as deep as the flutes. It ain't pretty or proper, but it opened the hole up.

Oh, yeah. It's also a good use for a broken endmill.
 
Thanks shotgun. Does anyone know if there is any specific person on the forum that deals with parts for these or maybe parts them out?
 
Congrats on your mill purchase. You can do a lot with them.
One thing you may want to look at after you get a bit more familiar with it would be the round column mill "fix" to maintain registration when you raise or lower the head for tool changes etc. It's definitely the best mod (of many) that I did on mine. There are a number of videos on YouTube for the "round column mill fix" or "RF30 mods."
