How to slightly enlarge a bench dog hole
I made a workbench from some gluelams I got for free. It is quite
substantial, being about 5 inches thick; very solid. I drilled some bench dog holes in it, and then I bought a holdfast. Unfortunately, even though the holdfast was described as 3/4" diameter, it's really a bit larger, and I need to enlarge the dog holes by about 1/8". I saw one technique where you grind the shoulders of a spade bit at 60 degrees and proceed carefully down the holes to enlarge them. Does anyone have better ideas? Also, I initially drilled too many holes. Any thoughts on plugging them? I might just glue in some dowels, but someone might have a more elegant idea. Thanks, scritch |
