Right, but could you chuck that into a cordless drill and get a reasonable outcome or would it have to go in a milling machine?

I guess I was picturing an end mill with a pilot bit, but I'm not sure if that's not a thing.

Dang it.....that makes an angled countersink.  You'd need a flat bottom for the flange on the SMA bulkhead connector.  At a glance I thought the depth stop was the cutting edge.  Never mind, I'm stupid.  I know nothing.

If there is such a thing as a countersink bit that makes a flat bottom hole in metal then maybe that's a way to go, but it doesn't seem to be a simple thing to find.

Here you go.  Countersink the hole with a bit like this.  I should do the googling before the answering next time.

Yes, the plate is nearly 4mm thick. I've seen these on radios before so I know they exist but I just
can't seem to find them.

    The screw terminal you refer to is the threads on the SMA

    plate of some kind?  Wow, that’s a lot of thread, good luck.

    I'm looking for an SMA to U.FL pigtail that has a longer screw
    terminal. Most I've found

    have ~14.5mm threads exposed, I'm looking for something closer
    to 20mm.

    I've search online but can't seem to find anything. Anyone know
    of a source for this?
