Putting a steel ring around a hole

[JD01]

Just a quick DIY thing and I don't know what I'm looking for.

Just tidying some stuff up with my desk and board - I have a couple of holes that I've drilled in stuff and I want to tidy things up.
I want to get a snug fitting steel ring into the hole which laps over the edge slightly to make it really tidy with with enough space to get my cabling through.

You can buy purpose made. What size hole? A pic maybe?

I'll make the hole fit the ring if I can find what I'm looking for.

This is a shite section diagram of what I mean.

Why steel?

There's a standard size hole for plastic cable ducts like you find on most office desks... cheap as chips. In my apartment studio I drilled a 60mm hole at each end of the desk and popped one of these babies in each. You can get various smaller sizes on Amazon if you look... "desk grommet" "cable collar" etc.

Steel? Can't help you there.

Steel, it'll look nicer and be harder wearing.
60mm is way too big for what I need - 25mm will be plenty.

This looks like it - googled "Desk Grommet"

Just search for desk grommets.

EDIT: I see you've done that already. I don't know whats up with my internet today but I clicked post for that about 2 hours ago.

ReallY annoying as I was trying to watch the cricket this morning and it kept dropping in and out but only on some devices.

Yeah, I just didn't know what to search for. As soon as Armi suggested it I found them straight away

If they are for cabling I would suggest using the capped ones as they prevent small items and dust getting in there. I have loads fitted around my workshop for various purposes from cables to tool wells.
