I drilled about 15 blanks back in September. I put one on my mandrel, about had it finished, and then did something dumb (my fault) to break the mandrel. :'( So, I finally got a replacement mandrel, and the 5/8" holes are a bit small now. I knew they would probably shrink, but didn't know they would shrink this much. I usually don't worry about them shrinking, because I hand fit all of the toneboards in them about a week after the finish is dry on them. That's how I usually deal with the shrinkage. But it looks like I'll have to redrill or ream these out so I can get em loaded up on the mandrel. I may try the drill bit first. A ream looks like it'll run me about $32.
Thanks for the help.
