No it isn't! If you have a mill which you can use as "drill-press", with a
"Z-travel" down to 0.0017" per turn, and a solid-carbide drill-bit of the
diameter of the screws you would be using, you can drill 0.1" through the
"hard case", and then pilot-drill and tap the "machineable steel" inside with
ease (if you are careful and experienced). I can not IMAGINE an adhesive
that would "stick" the shiny-smooth hard steel shafting. Lotsa luck! Jan
