Cable Entry

[Majorlarf]

Hi does anyone know where i can buy a cable entry/outlet jig either round or rectangle hole but would prefer both, my search does not seem to be bring up much luck?

Many Thanks

Do you mean like a desk grommet?

What's wrong with a holesaw? (serious question, not meant to sound funny)

If i cut a circular hole for the client in the work top they would want the rectangle hole & vice versa just want to cover both avenues

Yes but the jig to cut the hole for the grommet be it round or rectangle

 

[shim20]

if you have the gromet make a jig

Surely you can easily just make a jig out of an mdf offcut and use it with a 12.7mm cutter and a guide bush

I remember cutting mine out with a wooden boring kit, it took a while because it was old but it worked out pretty good... getting proper desk grommets on the other hand turned out to be a nightmare!!

Of course, now that I've just search Google a year later I come up with loads of sites:

http://www.amazon.com/Custom-Accents-Ca ... B000KH9JOG

Every desk should have one of these:

...and every workshop one of these:

:shock:

Thats just embarrasing, I can't believe how much effort I put into cutting mine to make it right and they had a template all along... it just goes to show that I should have asked!!

Axminster offer the same kind of thing:

Yes Thats the one I had already checked the trend site but only looked under the jig section ( as i thought it was a jig i was looking for) and it seems i should have looked under accessaries for a template

I dunno, a 250mm hole seems mighty big for cables :lol: :lol:
Personally I just use a holesaw, and only give my customers the option of round ones

£30 seems a lot of money for a jig that is simple and doesn't need to be super accurate. I think I'd spend the money on a few ports and make my own jigs to suit.

If memory serves me correctly, they are in the Hafefe catalogue
