You can drill just the big hinge hole and tap out the smaller ones with a 1 mm bit and it works fine but I bought the Eco-Drill and it does 8mm for the plastic barrels. Honestly, I prefer it now. Very easy and solid. I think it is very common in the EU to do the barrels as a lot of the doors are melamine and other "chipboard" material which doesn't hold a screw all that well.
Another benefit is that the barrels self center in the 8 mm hole and the screws self center in it. Sometimes I skip using a straight bar to ensure the hinges are set straight, and if I go back and check later, they are all aligned correctly!
Cheers. Bryan.
copcarcollector said:Thanks that is much clearer now! I checked the specs on the Eco Drill as well as other brands (CMT, Somerfields) and they all seem to be the same, I was under the (false) impression that the screw holes these made were much smaller.
So second question, do the hinges typically come with the plastic inserts, or do you just get those separately? THANKS.

PPG has a produst caller Break Through (dries in 15 min on light coats but industrial grade) I use that on alot of customers cabinet doors lets me finish a project in a day.
