If you are using the VersaBlocks, no machining is required. We recommend drilling a 1.25"-1.5" hole with a hole saw in the tubing. All of the location and strength is done with the VersaBlock, the hole in the tube is just clearance. During Build Blitz, Team Copioli used a 1.25" omni bit to drill the holes, this worked excellent.
