Hi


I have to cut tap holes in a new acrylic bath and I'm wondering what
the best tool would be. I was planning to use a holesaw but I'm
worried about the acrylic cracking/splitting or generally getting
chewed up. Are acrylic baths easy to cut?


I did it a few months ago, just used a bog standard hole drill from one of
those packs of 300 drill bit type things, I drilled a pilot hole first to
get the distance exact.

Your best bet it to practice loads of times on the old bath,


What if it's cast iron?


Then your tupperware won't be sealing as well in the future
