I have had this original glove box clock for a while, and time to get it out and put on a car. Since it is near Impossible to find an actual original glove box door with the hole for the clock, decided to just make my own.

So bought a reproduction door, and with careful measuring, determined it’s a 55mm hole, so bought that size bit. It worked perfectly, so now just need to woodgrain to match it to the dash. The clock works great, I will be restoring the face after watching some YouTube videos on how to do so without ruining it. Just missing the knob on the back that is to set the time, but will figure that out at some point.

Very nice job. Love the Model Cars in the background of some pictures?

Is that a specialty bit? It did a great job, and a good job overall.

The bit says TCT on it. I think that is the brand, it is carbide tipped, was about $14 bucks on the Internet.

The hole is 2 1/8 and the hole cutter for the USA door knob is what I use but a good quality one.Done it a few times.Here is the last one with the clock in it.

TCT means tungsten carbide tipped.
