I'm wrasslin' with an old friend (action) of mine. A while back I installed new front rail pins in new holes in new wood. It was something of a feat to locate the new holes accurately, and surprisingly, most of them came out pretty darn good. However, there are a few that are off to one side or the other - they make the key close to one neighbor and leave a gap on the other side. And of course, one just needs to bend the front rail pin a bit - which I've done, but then I get too much friction. It seems I need to move a few pins over just a half-millimeter or so. How best to do this accurately? I know I can just "plug and redrill", but without an industrial sized Bridgeport drill press, and little to zero machining expertise, how could I "plug and redrill" super accurately? Or, I was thinking to just get a small round file and enlarge the hole on one side and shim the other side. Or do they make small diameter router bits - if I had the exact size bit, I could just rout the hole the needed amount and shim. What to do, what to do....? Anyone?
