Back to Drafting 101 for youG.


Standard drafting practice, at least where I come from, is to dimension
all holes by diameter since that is how cutting tools are specified.

About the only time a radius is specified is for a fillet or similar
surface.


Check out the word "woodworking" in the name of the forum.

I, and most woodworkers, will use an adjustable "circle cutter" when faced
with cutting large diameter holes to non-standard sizes in wood.

In ALL cases, adjustable "circle cutters" are set up using the _radius_
measurement of the intended hole.

When _I_ draw woodworking plans, I spec them for a dumbass ... out of
necessity.

YMMV ...
