Sounds what Dewy suggested is the way to go, but I would like to hear other opinions. Please keep in mind that I do not have a plunge router - that being said, how do I start a hole? TIA |
As I mentioned you can drill a hole and in this case through the wood. The hole needs to be larger then the bit so you can safely start with the bit below the surface of the wood. A very simple jig (template) and be made and attached with a couple of small nails (brads) driven flush with the surface since the surface is not critical.
You might want to check out some of the things I've written under RouterForums Amateur Night.... The post:
