<div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">You are making total sense and I have had to do exactly the same thing several times. I'm not sure what your "honing tool" is.

<div>I haven't posted really anything in the past and I don't have a project page with photos (I will work on getting my project on the site this week!) but have a question for everyone out there. I am building a K boat. I have the structure about 95% complete. When I welded in my Electrical Thru-hull, they must have shrunk just a touch. The penetrator won't slide through the fitting that I made. The machinist that made most of my parts said that it would be better to hone them out than to take any material off the penetrator. So I bought a honing tool and after several hours working on the first one, I have made zero progress! Has anyone else encountered this in the past and does anyone have any ideas? Am I making any sense?</div>

<div>Thanks!!</div>
