<p>another method to pop a hole in plastic is to melt it. Often need to throw a hole or two of an odd size (hard to justify the cost of a bit not often used), or a large size that is both expensive and a PITA to handle the drill. Scrounge for a metal pipe, bean can, coffee can, etc the right size, heat with a torch (or gas range), and push it right through the plastic. No drill needed <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></p>

<p>Once the guide hole is drilled I put the hole saw together and run it backwards to make the initial mark of the hole saw to act as a guide, then I back off and set the drill to forward and carefully line up and bring the drill up to speed then gently apply to the hole again to finish drilling the hole.

<p>One tip to remember when you use a hole saw, they are very agressive when they cut, so, use a hand drill which will run in reverse and cut the hole in the reverse mode. You will get a smoother hole and it is very easy to do. Also if you are using 1/2 inch bulkheads use a 7/8 inch drill or hole saw. just my 2 cents worth. Another thought, if someone wants your 2 cents worth and they give you a penny for your thoughts, who gets the change? Installing bulkheads are simple if you just go…</p>

<p>To make holes to install uniseals or bulkhead fittings, you will want a drill and the right size hole saw. It would be good to practice using it on some scrap material since they sometimes bite and jerk funny the first time you try to use them and I wouldn't want you causing damage that isn't easily dealt with. Be careful as you use tools you are not familiar with.</p>
