Title: 9/16" bit/hole saw
Post by: Chris Craig on March 14, 2013, 02:03:53 PM

I'm in need of something to make a 9/16" hole in my kettle in order to install my sight glass.  Anybody have anything I can use?

Remind me Tomorrow night and I"ll put it in the car before I go to work on Sat at 6 am, when I regularly forget pretty much everything as I go out the door!

I have hole saws that I could loan you as a back up if you'd like?

I ended up buying a step bit. Cost me $50, but it worked great. The sight glass is now installed and calibrated. Now I'm just waiting on my new kettle.

Are you nuts?  I didn't tell my wife.  She just sees a pile of junk in the laundry room when she looks at my gear.  She'll never know the difference  :rock:
