I suppose it has to be for large plugs only because that bit is good size.

I think the way that offset wiring is done, is done that way to keep the swivels at a certain height so they are even and don't stick out too far.
I did that on a small danny long ago.

good stuff George
When I poured lead directly into plugs I used to use a 1/4" dovetail bit to make the bottom of the hole bigger so it would not fall out.
Worked.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
