Three holes to go ......?

[aamcle]

So far I popped all the holes I need in my urn bar three, all of the remaining holes ( 2 different sizes) are bigger than my qcutter.

I don't want to buy two cutters for just three holes, if I make hole with my cutter how hard is it to open it out to the size I need? I'd only need to open it up by a maximum of 5mm.

Many thanks. Aamcle

Depends on how you are opening up the hole. A dremel type will be the easiest, but by hand will be tedious.

Dremal it is then :). I take it that Ill be using one of the little grind stones.

Can I suggest you scribe the hole at the size that you need onto the boiler round the hole to be enlarged. I recently did this and its not easy to Dremel out a hole and keep it consistently round, in fact its Bl**y difficult.


Good luck with it.!!

That's the plan, round is hard.

Where are u and what sizes do u need?

 

[aamcle]

Fil, sorry for not replying sooner I've been at my daughters, unless your local Ill get out the Dermal I only have to open out three holes :).

I'm just north of Warrington are you nearby? If you are I'd be delighted to pop around and punch the holes, I need 7/8 and 9/8 (1 +1/8) inches.

Many Thanks. Aamcle

im a bit far ,,, perhaps someone closer??

if not go slow n steady u can always eat a bit more off but u cant put any back,,

Its Ok the Dremal rules, I'll scribe the holes pop the with the qmax I have and then open them out :)

I have a 22mm qmax which is not far off 7/8", but my other is 38mm. I could post to you.

 

[aamcle]

Its Ok Bob, I'll do it with the Dremal its only three :) and most of the metal will be removed by my punch.

Thanks for your offer.
