8. The method of claim 6, wherein the locating step comprises introducing an adapter to the mating bore hole and placing a designation device through the adapter such that the designation device interacts with the exterior surface of the shroud block, the designation device having an outer perimeter approximately equal to the inner perimeter of the adapter.
9. The method of claim 6, wherein the locating step comprises introducing a locating jig to an existing bore hole in the shroud block, the locating jig configured to locate the location of the bore hole.
10. The method of claim 1, further comprising calibrating the machining device.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the calibrating step comprises leveling the machining device.
12. The method of claim 10, wherein the calibrating step comprises aligning the machining axis with respect to the platform.
13. A machining kit for machining a bore hole in a shroud block, the machining kit comprising:
a designation device configured to designate a location of the bore hole on an exterior surface of the shroud block; and
a machining device, the machining device comprising:
a platform;
a securing device;
a radial support, the radial support configured to mate with a radial exterior surface of the shroud block such that a machining axis of the machining device may be aligned with a radial axis of the shroud block;
a locating tool for interacting with the location of the bore hole; and
a machining tool for machining the bore hole in the shroud block.
14. The machining kit of claim 13, further comprising an adapter configured to mate with the designation device.
15. The machining kit of claim 13, further comprising a locating jig configured to mate with an existing bore hole in the shroud block and locate the location of the bore hole.
16. The machining kit of claim 13, wherein the machining device is a mill press.
17. The machining kit of claim 13, wherein the machining device is a drill press.
18. The machining kit of claim 13, wherein the designation device is a center punch.
19. The machining kit of claim 13, wherein the designation device includes a replaceable tip.
20. The machining kit of claim 13, wherein the securing device includes one of a male locking component and a female locking component, wherein the radial support includes the other of the male locking component and the female locking component, and wherein the male locking component and female locking component are configured to lock the securing device and the radial support together.
