By clamping the plate with the bigger hole to act as a guide for the hole-saw, enlarging the hole behind the plate.....

i actually do it easier than that i have an arbor that can accept 2 hole saw bits. I put the larger one on first, than the smaller. The smaller acts as a guide.

I have that system also, but for my Lenox hole saws.
Is it also available for annular cutters?

That's actually a really slick idea. Both of these methods are interesting. Going to have to keep these in mind for the future!

Thanks!

Me too... because it means I finished the project. My problem is completely finishing projects. Seems that last few details take me the longest to complete and as such all the tools, hardware, scraps, and stuff are all over the place and I don't have a place to set any more 'stuff' on my workbench.

Uh huh... kind of like that top-n-tilt project?

I will have to get a pic of fix to an egg shape worn drawbar hole. Weld the worn side back in and can fit the holesaw in and trim it back smooth and round and not even notice its done.

I've seen sets of different diameter carbon(?) rods sold to do the same thing. You put the carbon in the hole and weld it up. Pull the carbon out and your done.

I like your idea. I usually just use a die grinder and what ever else I have to make the hole round.

Just babble.

Carbon de way to go, but you ain't likely to pull it back out, just bust it out.
