    Looking for machine shop guy

    need someone locally with good drill press (or whatever tools) to drill out putter hosel without breaking hosel. there is some jammed broken metal inside. not much thickness to work with. my tungsten drill bits and CT drill press wont do the job. reasonably priced hopefully. lmk

    See attachments .... inside of hosel has to be drilled out straight down to the bend so that a new 2-3" pin can be inserted to hold the 'over the hosel' shaft ..... the hosel has partly broken original pin, some epoxy and broken drill bit in it .... my tools wont do the job !!!

    You need a carbide rotary file with an end cut and lots of cutting oil .
    Its fairly easy to do with basic tools and a bit of patience .
    A die grinder will also work , but if you can , heat up the epoxy and get rid of that first , its fumes are toxic and you dont want to be breathing that in if you are cutting , good luck
    At the end of the day ... It gets dark
