We talk a lot here about drilling and tube sizes etc., I have often wondered about what problem a slightly oversize hole will cause - I know if you don't drill big enough the tube won't fit.
But, using wood, I've never really seen a problem with the hole being a little too big - now I know that totally oversized the tube might flop around and get a little off center in the hole - is that the problem folks are worried about.
Glue distribution should not be a problem with wood because, it seems to me, there is very little stress applied that would be between the barrel and the tube. Am I missing something.
Where do failures occur? The only tubes I've had break loose has been because of some epoxy left inside the tube causing a problem when I am squaring the barrel.
