@jonhodgson that’s a great idea, it absolutely does!

@koendb I would probably take the additional step of putting a stop for the router for the first hole and then leave that in place while you change th...

@koendb just a thought about this the ferrules I had, had a lip round them so you’d need to cut a wider recess too with a larger bit if you wanted the...
