[SEL] Fooled again

[Jeff Allen]

Bill,

I posted how to do this several days ago including making a jig to 
center the drill bit. It would probably still work for you. I also 
bought several 8" bits at Ace for about ten bucks each because my crank 
sticks out. One would think if you had a problem with a gib key, you 
would have followed the posts.
