View Full Version : Chamfer Bench Dog Holes?

First of all, is this wise? Second, if so, what's the best way to do it? Large countersink bit in a drill or router chamfer bit? I'm leaning towards the drill method, but haven't seen a countersink bit this large at the big box stores....
Even Woodcraft only lists a 3/4 diameter bit, and that would slip right into the hole :confused:
And BTW, thanks for everyone's help in getting this far....Perhaps you've noticed the dumb questions for the past month... :)
Thanks!!!

I did not chamfer my dog holes, but I did ease the edges with a little 220 paper just a proverbial hair...more of a safety thing than anything else.

I did what Jim did but have seen folks use a router and a chamfer bit to get the result you discuss. I prefer to have full support all the way to the surface for my dogs.

I didn't chamfer mine either but for reference, I have a 1 1/2" countersink in my shop. If you can't find it in woodworking catalogs, try a BIG BOOK like Mc Masters. Funny how machinist's tools work just fine for woodworking.;)

I didn’t champher mine. I don’t see any advantage, in fact adding a champher only takes away support for the dog.

Seems unanimous, no chamfer on the dog holes :)
Thanks!!!
