And I guess other project kits as well,
It may pay to check the actual diameter of the insert tubes when selecting suitable drill, some of them are thinner walled than others and a quoted 7mm may be as small as 6.75mm, results in a lot of gap for any glue to fill especially if you use CA.
And of course can result in the wood veneer being 0.25mm thinner on one side which can be significant with a slimline pen only being some 1mm of veneer in the first place.
