Where did you get your hole saw? Sounds like a stupid question but the Lowes/Home Depot ones aren't deep enough to go all the way through without bottoming out.

Thanks,

Owen

Hmm, good idea...I'll remember that in case I don't find anything. Actually, my second to last option would be to buy another saw, cut the end out of it, and weld it to the first one!

Well, I can't find a deep enough hole saw...



Kim, did you cut that aluminum circle/post thing and then continue drilling?

Thanks

I cut it in two stages.

Stage one, i cut through the outer housing



Then used a hack saw to cut the aluminum in between the two "layers"



Stage two, cut the inner housing

Cool, if I can just get through that outer cylindrical shaped thing, I should be able to continue drilling. I just wish I could find a taller saw!
