okay thanks for the numbers, that should help. does anyone know a website i can order these off of? or even a store? does tower carry them? i will check around but i want to be positive i buy the right ones. I've looked at that dead center tool but last i check it was sort of expensive for my no income 16 yr old budget so i held off. I heard you can find the holes by just putting a little baby powder or flour down and then drilling right through. Seems feasable. Still will try to get my hands on one of those dead center tools though, sounds very handy.

Nice plane btw, roltech.

Thanks for the help, i think i have the right sized drill bit so i will go try that right now if its right.
