Hi Folks,

    Just got some MDF blanks all coated with OSMO Polyx and will be using Peter Parfitt's Mark 2 jig setup for hole drilling. My questions are as follows. The hold down screws in the corners must be 10mm for the threaded insert by my imperial to metric conversion. I measured 42.5mm from the side and 50mm from the end of the MFT to the center of the hole. I have several questions. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

[list type=decimal]
[*]Is this measurement correct?
[*]For anybody who has done this project, did you mark the centers and freehand drill the holes?
[*]Did you just back out the existing MFT threaded insert or order new from EKATS? I could convert to 1/4" x 20 but that would be sacrilege. [eek]

Just drop in the top and mark the hole locations from the bottom. Do not overthink this...
