Do you have a means to adjust your work in a vise at a 45 degree angle or
does your drill press/mill head cant to a 45 degree angle? How long is the
work piece? If the piece is too big to chuck up in a vise then you will have
to make some kind of fixture to attach to the pipe to maintain your angle.
Need more input before I can decide how I would drill the hole. What tools
do you have to work with? How accurate does the angle need to be and how
accurate does the angle need to be?
