How do you bore a hole for a plane tote?

Drill the hole before you shape the tote? Dunno, never done it, but it would make sense.

You know ThreeJs I actually thought about that , just wasn’t sure if it would work. I’ve got time to kill this afternoon. Maybe I’ll give that a s shot.

francisco.. Love your bench I got to get over there a post a comment.

You should be using a brad point drill. If you are forcing the drill it will wander. Go easy.

Definitely easier to drill the hole first~

Ditto on the hole first. Eliminates the whole headache of wandering bits. Use the skinny bit first then use the hole to center up the counterbore. Good luck.

always,
