Hi

I have ordered my first zetas today but want to get some blanks drilled and ready. Could somebody tell me what length is the tube in this kit? My blanks are in board offset form so need cutting roughly to length.

Thanks
Mark

The tube is a shade over 49mm. My working practice though is to drill ans glue up in the same session, thereby eliminating the possibility of the hole going elliptical over time in a wood blank.

good point phil. i can sort some nice blanks and cut them roughly to length, ready though which might save half an hour.
