Ive been looking around for a hole cutting bit to use for my BOV. Everything ive come across is made for wood. I wasnt sure if I should try one of these out or not. Also now thanks to this site, I just bought a welder. Pretty pumped that I dont have to ask a friend of mine to weld my stuff anymore! (though im pretty sure my first welds are gonna come out like total ----.

Thanks, you guys kick ***,

hotrex

go ahead and try out the one for wood tsk tsk tsk. get some earplugs though, it will sound about 38525689 times worse than fingernails on a chalkboard, get a gas mask too, cuz it's gonna stink. make sure you wear goggles cuz ----'s gonna fly.

don't worry about clamping down the metal though, just hold it with your hand, haha

but seriously, clamp it cuz you won't need a rope if you don't

all of the above was total crap and i really hope you don't try it, but post a video or pics if you do

if you're calling me a dumbass, i only meant that the above of what i said was crap. bimetal will probably work good, as long as it's got alot of tpi, it should work fine

This one is for metal


This one is for wood


Idea: get a wood hole saw bit.. and a pretty powerful drill.. and if it's your first time using one.. your arm will enjoy the experience..lol

The closest home depo is almost an hour away, so I didnt particularly want to drive there for that one thing. Ive checked a bunch of local small hardware stores w/ no luck (and the guy at Lowes says they dont make them? ). Guess ill just suck it up and take a drive. At least that way I can pick up a few spare silicone connectors and maybe some extra fittings.

Thanks for the help

The guy at Lowes is a tool also, they have them that is where I get mine. I think the are Irwin brand.

I notched every tube on the cage in my caar with one bit, they will last a long time if used in a drill press, if using a hand drill they tend to wear out a bit quicker. But they are much more fun to use with a hand drill
