Thread: Where to buy pre-drilled holes?

Metric or imperial?

Maybe you could get a "Holeogram" to do the drilling for you. They never tire out!

Would this be like buying sky hooks

Actually you can find the predrilled holes in the "Zero Kerf Band Saw Blade" store. They are just to the right of the door on the middle shelf next to the perpetually sharp chisels and sky hooks. This store carries all kinds of hard to find woodworking tools. My favorite is the automatic adjusting hand plane.

My local Bunnings usually has them (out of stock at the moment). In the same isle as the round tuits.

Years ago when the old man and the neighbour were erecting the paling fence to divide the 2 places they got carried away and dug 2 holes too many. That wasn't a problem in its self because there were other neighbours doing the the same job and they knew that they would/should get beer money for them. You wouldn't want to know....both of them split in half just as Dad was levering them out of the ground.


While we are on the subject I would like to by a quantity of Enthusiasm. I have asked at the counter of many places and they say they just can't keep up supply. So if any body has some to spare I would dearly like some.
As a trade though, I do have some grinding sparks that are only a day old and very orange/red (well they were yesterday)

MATE-------------YOU ARE A BIT EARLY APRIL ONE IS SOME TIME OFF
OPPS I MAY HAVE UPSET THE FUN,SORRY GUYS

Actually, I found some in the bottomless pit. But they've got chips at the top (or bottom) Any good? They're fairly deep too, but you could probably cut them down with the Kerfless saw mentioned earlier.

I always get mine from the wholesalers.

I did know a bloke who claimed he had any shape or size hole in stock, all the customer had to do was bring the money and material to put them in.

This thread should be boring!

Will look for some of the items like enthusiasm next time I am shopping.

What shape hole did you require or do you require the whole hole?
I have just seen one square at one end and round at the other. It did not look right so I filled it.

You could try Carbatec, I think they're next to the long waits

Can't help with predrilled as such, but if you use Sketchup and are willing to make one the size and shape you need, SU will duplicate them for you till you get sick of it or run out of material. That way you can get them online instantly instead of having to physically shop around for ages.

You can make your own with a 3d printer I hear tell.

Depth comntrol is the issue.

Coz if you do drill a hole and then half fill it in, are you left with a whole hole or half a hole?

If you drill them Sunday are the Whole Holy holes or only half Holy holes or are the holey at all?.

Just the other day I bought a half-inch drill bit. I have been kicking myself ever since.

I didn't really want the bit, I just wanted the holes.

Why didn't I just get a packet of half-inch holes and be done with?
