You need a CNC mill to really get it done right... go to your local machinist...

you wouldn't really use a cnc to do clean up work like this. a mill, yes. CNC is computer numerically controlled- you wouldn't write a program for a CNC for one cut on a mill. There are CNC plasma cutters, water jets, mills and other things, CNC is just how they're controlled.

I imagine with my good carbide bit on my dremel I could add 1mm to a bearing hole. It would be easy to screw it up, but I'd try it.

As long as you use an end-mill bit, because a drill bit won't work...and you better have a hand that is as steady as a robot, because you are making the hole deeper, not larger, and if you aren't robot steady you will mess up the diameter of the hole.

it'd be no different or harder than drilling any peice in a drill press. set the peice, set the depth stop, pull the lever. no computers or "robots" necessary.
