i take it you still use M3.5 x 16 stainless screws ?????? so i take it on top lats is 3.5m drill hole but wot size hole was on bottom lats cheers neil

[MrServecool]

@idaveuk yup. same screws. The hole at the bottom was hand drilled to 50-75% of thickness, messing up and drilling through 4 times! Not bad. anything over 50% will do to stop the splitting.

@MrServecool did you use same drill (m 3.5 ) for bottom lats same as top ??????????????????? cheers neil

[MrServecool]

@MrServecool .I think i used a 2.5mm for the whole thing. 3mm at most.

[idaveuk]

i was planning to do my lats like you said in mail 3.5 - 4.0 cm wide by 9mm thick cheers

[idaveuk]

if you dont have surface planer can lats just be cut on a bench saw / table saw cheers neil

[MrServecool]

@idaveuk Cheers Neil your right. The finish from the table saw was actually pretty good and I would have wasted less. A warning though as at that size you probably need to take any guards off!
