Button Sizing and Spacing.

Guys,

I'm trying to sort out my cp design and hope you can help?

I understand that a happ button requires a hole of 1 1/8"  is that correct?

What is the overal width of the button including the 'lip' ?

Thanks
Stace  :)

Most buttons are spaced 1.5" apart, centre to centre.

This is correct.  I personally suggest a fostner bit.  For other hole related questions, don't forget about this thread about hole sizes.

I've also used a step bit... a little rougher going, but
it gave me a cleaner hole.

From what I've read, most people get away with
just using spade bits too.

I think I saw a set of forstner bits at Big Lots the other day for
$15 or so... don't know how good they are though.

I use forstner bits to drill out the holes and I space them 1-3/8" on center.
