How many holes do you actually need to drill? Up to say..15 or so..if
you took your time and used oil and didnt try to force em....Id say you
would be ok with a 1" hole saw. A good quality one like a Lenox. The
other option is to use a unibit/step drill of some sort..and take your
time. 1/4 hp..really isnt very much for a largish cutter of any sort.


One thing I've not seen mentioned. Holes saws tend to give you quite a bit
overisze hole with 25 thou over not uncommon. The uni bit will give you very
close to 1.00
