Chris, I use wood plugs too and haven't had any problem with drill bit wandering if that's the issue. I use a good, sharp forstner bit. I place the plugs with the grain running 90 deg. to the key's grain which stops any splitting from overzealous lead swaging. I've even been fairly successful at finding wood for the plugs that matches the key's color. Sitka spruce is good.

Drill bit wandering is not an issue in the case anyway but time is. Good and Fast. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
