Hello all,

I am getting closer to doing the job that involves clamping open boxes,
DB 9 holes, etc. There will be some round holes, and my first thought
was a boring head. That would be overkill in precision capability, but
I'd like to learn how to use one, so it seemed reasonable.

The acrylic and facing problems came along, and a flycutter is
officially in transit (3/4 shanks). Can I (ab)use that as a hole saw?
Is it safe? Should I clamp the waste to avoid catching on the bit?

I still plan to get a boring head, but would rather wait a while to let
my wallet cool off a little. Another reason to wait on the boring head
is that I am not convinced I will take to flycutter. If it gives me the
creeps for facing, I might prefer a face mill to a boring head as my
next purchase.

Bill
