where to enlarge holes to fit in 10mm tuners?

[DIstortIoner]

Hi guys, my strat has a standard 8mm hole. I wanna enlarge it to 10mm to fit in the tuners i want.
Where can i have it done(or theres anybody here that can help me)?
I tried standard value and hardware shops, they do not help people do this.

Thanks

if u can find a bench drill press (maybe at some nearby school), u could use this drill bit to do it..a counter-bore tool with the pilot hole diameter 8mm and the counterbore diametere 10mm...

hmm if u noe your sch workshop tech, u can ask them to help..cos its really easy, the pilot hole would fit snuggly into the current headstock hole so wad u have to do is just to lower the drill...btw a drill press is the big big table kind dat will cfm drill straight one...so no worries..and i dun tink there are many ppl out there doing it...plus they cfm rip u off from this easy job..

forget about the drill press. you only need an reamer. a hand reamer. poke one side, give it a few good twist. poke the other end, give it a few good twist.

google for reamer. and then go down the regular hardware shops and ask for it.

everyone needs a good hand reamer once in a while!

Well you found your friend to do it so I guess you won't be needing suggestions anymore. However, do take the time to learn how it is done while you're at it and have a hand at it as well. Useful skill to have.

When one gets married, one wouldn't expect someone else to DIY the spouse cos one sucks at it right? :mrgreen:
