I just drilled blanks for a Gentlemens pen from CS.
The instructions called for a 15/32 for the small tube.
When I dry fit the tube, I discovered it is very loose!
I checked the bit three times, and even tested the tube in 29/64, which fit better, but is still not quite right.
Now, sitting behind the computer it occurs to me that maybe the tubes (extra set ordered with the kits) may be wrong?
I triple checked the instructions, and even looked on the CSUSA site, the instructions there call for 15/32 as well...
I'm gonna go back to the shop and check the extra tubes against the tubes from the kit, but I'm thinkin' something is very wrong.
A real pity too, the wood I drilled was a special piece from a friend for his own personal board, and now the blanks are trash.
Any thoughts?
