I have a Pedersoli 2nd model short land pattern Brown Bess.
The touch hole was originally drilled too low (right at the bottom of the pan).
I want to raise the touchole.
I've bought a Jim Chambers 3/8" stainless steel "White Lightning" touch hole liner from Track of the Wolf.
Track of the Wolf recommends using an end mill in a milling machine to drill the hole for the touch hole liner- saying a regular drill bit would probably skip into the old hole.
Anyone have an experience with this? Do you have to use a milling machine- can an end mill be used in a drill press?
