We have machining equipment that can machine your holes for you. I assume from note below, that you just need to enlarge the 0.500” holes to 0.750” holes (though holes). This is easy job to accomplish. We are in Katy at 27027 Westheimer Parkway, suite 700, Katy, TX 77494. Just south of Katy

My badcenter punching is not necessary with a HALF INCH existing hole.  Didnt read the minor details in the request.  Anyway, call me and we can do it here.  I have a 24 volt monster drill here.  You hold one side, and I will hold the other. Rod On Monday, May 1, 2017 6:08 PM, rodney
