Looking for something to protect a rope that goes through a piece of wood. I could smooth down the edges of the holes, but I'd rather have something else like a grommet to keep it from shredding the rope.
Not sure if the home center sells something like that or not.

Get some tubing of the diameter you want and a little longer than the length you need.
Insert the tubing through the hole and flare each end.

that's what I was thinking about
pvc or metal?

Is there an easy way to flare out PVC?

heat gun?
I remembered I have some molding plastic, that might work also

what about this?

I would have used a router bit, but that was the gist of that idea
it would still take sanding for it to be really smooth
Wood won't fuck up the rope it'll eventually get smooth. Also apply some wax or grease
What is the application?
Make a sandpaper cone and stick it on a drill/rotary tool.

Buy a plastic funnel that fits snug into the hole, andcut off the end

Buy a nylon bushing from the hardware section of your local harware store.
They are used as bushing for axles.

assuming the person you'd ask is a moron and has no clue what a bushing is...in what department would one expect to find them?
