Any other suggestions for sealing NSBs?

Sheesh... It's looking ugly.

I can either router all the holes, or I can use a hole saw, which is neat enough, altho it seems to take forever, and does a 4" hole, instead of 3 7/8"...

Argh.

I use a 4" (or was it 31/2") hole saw and still had to rasp the top edge to seat driver in hole. Mdf and hole saws don't work well together.

I did it with a router a jasper jig and a spiral upcut bit, i went from hole to hole, i didnt pre measure any of them , and i set the depth of the router to just above going thru so the middle part was still there, and then i just knocked it out with a hammer. so end of one hole to middle of the next, drill put router with jig on, plunge go round, take up , do the next. it took forever, and it made a lot of dust. good luck

I'm gonna use a "fly cutter" -- work from both sides to get the "step", adjustable for perfect fit, fairly quick and NO DUST!

If you've got a drill press can't beat them.

Another option is to make a template to guide your router. Use thin plywood, masonite, etc. and cut a hole which is large enough for the outside of your router to follow. Use an upcut spiral bit and dust control.

Worked for me!
