Homemade MFT

[NVA_WW]

I have a couple of MFTs, but want to make some smaller work tables for sanding and other odds and ends.  That will help keep my MFTs clear from the junk.  I'll be using the LR32 kit to make some smaller tops.  What's the best Festool router bit to use in order to make the 20MM holes?  I now have the 1400 and 1010, so shank size is not an issue.  Thanks in advance.

I would imagine that the best to make the 20 mm holes would be part number 491072 which is the 20mm hinge boring bit with the 8mm shank.

If it is not essential to have 20mm holes, you could go with 3/4" dog holes (about 19mm). It may be useful to have some imperial-sized holes to make use of some jigs and bench dogs etc. available in North America.

Agreed, but 13/16" I believe would be even closer to the 20 mm. IIRC 20 mm is between 13 and 14/16" (e.g. 7/8)
