Accurate Ferrule Holes

[LuxInterior]

My apologies if this has been covered, I couldn’t find a thread.

Wondering if y’all have any tips on drilling ferrule holes accurately.

I’m using a forstner bit but no matter how much I try to help it, I always get a small amount of travel

This is a very good way to do it.

Let's make a body !

And that body is cut to outside the line. Next up drilling and sanding.

I bought one of these off a Reverb seller. very simple and works perfectly every time.

You don’t mention that you have a drill press. If you don’t take a look at this.

Fletcher does a good job at describing the process

I use this very same tool from the same seller. It works pretty well I think.
