Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I have run into a small issue and want to throw to the crowd for ideas on how to fix it / the right tool to use.

I have 4 round windows cut and salvaged porthole glass ready to go in. I used a router to put a 5mm rebate around the holes and the glass drops in nicely - except on one, the hole is 1-2mm too small.

What is a good way to reliably shave off that 1mm from the inside of a circle so I can run the rebate bit around again and have the glass fit?

If you have a "flush-cut" bit, you can swap bearings on the bottom to smaller size, to pilot along the inner circle & use the overbite to chew off what you need. If you have a "reverse flush-cut bit" (one with the pilot bearing above the cutter) you can make a larger circle template out of some cheap material, to fasten (clamp, screw) over the hole & run the cutter down from the top to remove the extra material. This means cutting out a larger circle in the scrap to make it & would take a bit of time, but you can check the fit in the template & then know it will work properly when the cut is made.

That's the easiest way I know to get things right. I'm sure someone else will have a different/better idea.

Different approach.

Change router bearings to cut the larger rebate.
Then change bearings to trim the other side to your preferred size.

Thanks all, esp H.A. I went and picked one of these up after work.

It worked a treat, only took a few min and a quick go around with the router again then the glass dropped right in.
