Tools

Shaper Origin

Workstation

Table Saw with 1/8th kerf blade.

Drill press is helpful

4 mm router bit (I used the shaper 4mm by 15 mm up-spiral flat bit). A 1/8th bit would work. It needs to be long (needs to go around 1.25 inches deep)

¼ inch or 8 mm router bit, needs to cut at least 1.25 inches deep

25/64ths drill bit (for pilot hole for threaded insert)

7/16ths drill bit (for pen slot)

M5 tap
