Default Boring a hole question...

@u72g2000hsf.googlegroups.com:

The most logical problem to your measuring issue is you do not have the
telescoping gauge square to the hole each time. As a simple thing, square
up two edges of two blocks the same or slightly thinner than the handle
stem on your telescoping gauge. Drill a couple of holes in the blocks. Then
use some wire ties to strap the Telescoping gauge stem to the blocks, with
the blocks being about 90 degrees to each other. This should square up the
gauge in the hole for more repeatable measurement.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
