God help me, it's a wonder how I ever got my cabinet built.

I decided to look back through the book to see what I could find about bits needed....and discovered that what I thought (again) was wrong....possibly.

I'm planning to use the Ultimarc T-stick that is switchable from 4-8 way from the top of the panel.

For what it's worth - the router bits DID actually come in handy!

Using the T-stick plus in 3/4" plywood.  Got my 1 1/8" hole drilled, took the shaft out, and reconnected everything to discover the shaft was too short!

I wound up needing my bit to recess the stick into the wood and make the stick taller anyway - so the bits weren't  a waste of money after all!
