jhaley Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I’m wrapping up a project and am about to drill my drawer handles (attached with 2 machine bolts). I’ve installed handles numerous times in the past, but never on a piece of furniture that I’ve spent this much time working on. What size would you drill the hole. 3/16 – need to use a screwdriver to pass bolt thru wood 11/64 – bolt drops in and has small amount of play 3/16 – a little loose and would allow refinement with handle alignment. I’m guessing the best way to get precision would be to create a jig where the holes are done in the drill press then clamp this jig to the drawer and drill with a cordless drill. Thoughts?

TheNehlsEnd Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I prefer making a jig for the drawer pulls. It doesn't hurt the holes being slightly oversize, makes it easier to install the screws without a lot of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
