    I recommend the Starret hole saws and appropriate Arbor
    Looks like 24mm is the nearest size
    Use a drill press or pedestal drill for best results

    I decided I wanted 23mm to ensure the best fit so ordered a different brnaded hole cutter. Hopefully it is up to the job.

    More hours spent today filing the board square and to size. Wish I had access to a milling machine!

    I ordered mine cut to exact size so all I had to do was the drilling and polish the top surface

    That would’ve been a better option. At least it’s cost me nothing other than a few quid for a hole cutter (free material and free labour due to being quiet in work). Will take the Dr Feickert protractor back down with me next week to mark out the hole for the tonearm.

    Drilled and ready. I just need to finish it with some scotch-brite.



    Jamie did I read somewhere that you preferred the armboard mounted on some legs rather than atop of the MDF board? Do you have any pictures?

    I’m finally back home and now fitting the tonearm. Luckily it all seems to fit as planned. Still needs a clean up and the board requires polishing/brushing. Hopefully get chance to hear it playing some music this weekend.
