I don't know about "making" them...... I would prefer to end up with a
situation where one could use a good ready made Frelon unit and embedd that
or better yet slide it in so it is removable/replaceable. I know they are not
exactly a really cheap thing either. But, My experience with Frelon has been
very good. I would not shivver at the thought of using them on a router next
time. I like them for Plasma Machines.

I never spent much time comparing the thin liners to existing available
holes. It might be that something in this area can be done especially if one
used those compression liners that someone kindly posted a link to earlier.

Now, I think this topic was closed earlier but I always read the oldest to
the newest messages and I have not been able to follow along today. So whats
a fellow to do ??
