Once in a while an old memory from my work days pops into my head. One day I saw my boss up on a ladder drilling a hole in an I-beam in order to mount a hoist.
I walked by again and he was still there making no progress. When he saw me he asked. "How the hell do you drill a hole?"
He was starting out with a 3/4" bit !
What a freaking idiot. I told him to start small and make increasingly larger holes.
Now 30 years later, I'm wondering if he ever had to use a hole saw. :)
Yeah, but good luck centering a hole saw if you've made a pilot hole too small.
TRULY - LOL!!!!
Good one.
He was dumb enough to do so :)
With the hole saws that I have, I can stack the smaller saw inside the larger saw so that when I approach the area that needs to be enlarged, the smaller saw fits into the existing hole and serves to center the new larger hole.
Not sure if that makes sense, but it has worked very well for me.
Something like this?
No, more like this:
My post was meant as a joke.
No, like this:
Not quite what I had in mind, but that's an interesting tool.
The blades are just too thin in that tool, I found when I used to have one. The Milwaulkee looks very robust.
I enlarged a hole once, but I don't remember how I did it. I dont' r emember where the hole was. I hope I figure it out before the next hole arrives.
It might have been like this one, above.
