Seems like a very big hole to drill out just for a lever spindle.5/8" is all we usually do here in the UK. Loving the fact that you're still using Imperial measurements though. 1mm being a 1/25 of an inch is just too vague
@walesxscarlets Did seem like he was allowing a bit too much leeway didn't it?The combination lock above needs a hole that size.Maybe the Americans don't like changing cutters!He wasn't using a router.Just an electric drill and a cutter with a bush as far as I could make out with a proprietry jig.I usually make my own jigs from half inch MDF.Trend do a good range of adjustable jigs for locks,hinges,kitchen work-tops,staircases,letter-plates etc...but they're not cheap.Nor are the cutters.
@walesxscarlets I use a Ryobi 2 kilowatt beast of a router (half-inch) for really heavy work and a smaller Trend router for shallower rebates and mouldings. Been a carpenter for nearly 40 years now and like my kit although there's always arguments on site as to what's the best. Brand loyalty and all that! Hope I've been some help
@walesxscarlets They used a 2 1/8" hole saw to drill out the hole for the knob and a 1" hole saw for the latch. Best practice is to read the instructions that came with the lock set you buy in case there are any variations.
