The PTFE blank fits snug

It must be driven in with a rubber mallet.

The PTFE fits flush with the surface of the jig.

Next pass finishes the hole to size.

The bolt head slips behind the edge of the chimney.

Using the carriage I extract the chimeny.

Pulling in one spot works fine. It all slides right out...
