  1. If you are going to the trouble of routering the hole, wouldn’t you make it a hexagon?

  2. If only there were a device that had threads going through it and a square on the outside.

  3. I like it! Engineering magic! It’s a basic a boat shape template ???????? <=> forward > and/or aft<.
    With Port (center of boat, going either way) And the starboards (parallel, sides of the basic boat shape)
    I use a 1/2 template or pattern on large jobs.
    Sometimes Starboard is called “Right” while “Left” is called Port. Boat shapes are directional (aft and forward)
    It’s fun to be an engineer????????

  4. Perfect template fore a hexnut isn’t a square. Six sided nuts perfect hole would be six sided not four.

  5. Idiot, what has changed, still two sides make contact, so perfect that template….

  6. Somebody needs to decide if they're trying to create a square hole or a rectangular one. A hexagon is not the same width and height.

  7. Templet, but not perfect. What you have there is a square, to be perfect a hexagon is needed. !!!

  8. Can you tell me where this hexagon can go that’s right the square hole ????????

  9. Where does the hexagon goes?
    You're right!
    It goes to the square hole.
    laugh myself into insanity

  10. They make square nuts for this. Sorry, I just had to be the ass that chimes in ????

  11. 3D print a hex template. Clamp the 3D printed template down and use the router.

    Now you have the 'perfect' hex hole.
