Yes well spotted, my integrity is intact, just my mathematical inadequacy has been exposed. It leaves a 10mm gap each side so must be a smaller holecutter!! What is a flat bit you mentioned? is it a different way of doing holes, I have tried using a jigsaw but don't get a good circle. Any way...

I noticed in Breezers reply to the last post a picture was included. How is that done, it would be really useful when describing a problem to be able to include a photo. Also how about a gallery feature of successes :P ...and failures :oops: in our attempts at DIY!!! Any thoughts? GLOCKO
