Actually
I'm using a kid's 4oz practice hockey puck as the blank. It's 1" thick
and I
need to make a 1" hole in it's center. Does anyone know of type of bit
or
other type of cutter that would make a clean cut. The common bits and
step
bits just rip it up.
BTDT, for foam for camera and equipment cases. Find a tin can or spray can
of the right diameter, or even a piece of pipe, and cut it off square.
Sharpen the edge, and use that as a knife to cut the foam. A lathe helps for
pipe, that is why thin tin cans are easier. Use a rod inside the can, and
roll it on a flat surface, to make it round again after you cut it.
