My Version Of A Knockout Block

[32t]

I was thinking about making a knockout block and wondering what size holes I should drill etc. Then I thought about a drill gauge. Many holes with a 1/64 inch variation. Hard to have the wrong size hole then! The one I had was plastic and worked but had a little flex to it if the hole under it was to big. Then I ran across this steel one that I just had to have. If I use it with my bench pin everything drops right into my lap. I have thought about drilling a 1/2 inch hole in a block of wood but I am generally lazy/smart so why do any more than I have to.

What a great idea! Thank you.
