Laura,

I know that you’ve already bought the drill bit, but I found that using a grinder worked great to make the notch! I found that a 5/8”-wide grinder wheel makes a perfect notch for the after-market hand wheel finger (w/rubber cushion), at least on an aluminum Singer 185K hand wheel.

Just grind it s-l-o-w-l-y to keep from getting it too hot, especially when you get to the thinner part of the wheel....
