I "removed" the rings from a mec-gar mag the day GT posted this idea.
Used my drill press and a "normal" 5/8" drill; works fine.

You guys that have equipment and knowledge of how to run them are spoiled!

Us poor farm boys know how to make do.

No need to take a picture, it was easy. I'm going to buy a ball mill so the cut will be round and smoother, instead of kind of conical.

I run my press slow, and with the geared feed on the "press" it is pretty easy to move the bit down
slowly enough, if I set the stop, cut, reset, I can get a nice job.

My press is probably 50 or 60 years old and a little heavier than some.
