Not to mention an odd size hole you don't have a drill for is a zero problem. Need a hole 2& 5/8" in diameter for a bearing seat. Measure the bearing, * 0.5, for radius and the fit is usually warm the socket and drop in, or tap it in. When I'm doing furniture in Green & Green style, I do normal math but diddle the tool diameter for a proper glue fit between the fingers. .247" for a 1/4" tool seems about right when working in Mahogany. Cherry, ash or Maple cuts cleaner & might do at .248". Poplar is hairy stuff, needs .245 to .246" > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
