I need help on hole size


Hey Guys,

 I need help? I'm wondering what size hole Lefevbre used on his mask. I made a custom "Lefevbre" mask for my self, but I cut holes too big. I sold it on ebay and plan on making a new one. I used a 7/8 bit. I think it looks too big. The next size down is a 3/4 bit, which I think is too small. I just don't know??? I'll need to tweek the mold a little. Any help would be cool. I have included some pics of my mask and some real Lefevbres.

Thanks,
Matt

How about 3/4 + .. the final effect of filing the holes ? That little bit of edge rounding might be what you're looking for.

What I do is draw the correct size hole with a circle template, then drill a pilot hole in the middle. To get to my drawn circle size, I use a cone shaped grinding attachment in my drill instead of a regular drill bit.

I would agree with you Dave. Whenever I use just a drill bit for some reason they are never perfectly round. I just bought some grinding stones and they work well on fiberglass. I also like the different tapers as you can round off the corners and only have to touch it up by hand.
