Hi.
I am reworking s DIY bolt on neck to use threaded inserts.
It has an angled neck pocket.
Whereas with wood screws it was OK to drill straight through at 90deg to the back & let the wood screws bite, I figure the new holes will need to be at 90deg to the bottom surface of the neck ie the inner angled surface of the neck pocket.
I feel plugging & re-drilling the holes in the neck pocket would be safest.
But my dowling is too thin, & the other bit too thick.
So How do I 'thickness' dowling to get the right diameter?
Also is there another way instead of plugging & re-drilling?
Could I pack in some sort of epoxy & re drill after it hardens?...well I could..but would it work well?
Is there some other better way?
