    Hi Aaron,

    Yes, I've built a 10" rack tom. Easy to turn the interior with a Bosch Colt router. The pictures attached show the Colt inside the 10" rack tom.

    I've not built an 8" using the router jig, so I have no idea if a Bosch Colt will fit. Pretty much only one way to find out...!

    An alternative to turning the inside of an 8" tom is to ....not. Perhaps use a rasp or Microplane type file to hand-shape the chamfer on the inside edge. That would be a fun bit of Neanderthal-flavored woodworking.

    A second alternative is to find a turner or machine shop to turn the inside. This might be a case where "buying" a result instead of "making" a result would be a benefit.

    Cheers,

    Seth
