I'd go for rough under-panel routing anytime. If you're using MDF, strength shouldn't be an issue as it's toughdown as low as 1/8", particularly if it's just a small area in the middle of an otherwise thick panel. --- End quote --- What do you consider a short stick? |

ivwshane, Thanks for the pictures - they do help, but are those the standard shaft or long versions? Thanks! Jim |
| ivwshane:
They are the standard shafts. Do they look too short to you? |
