What do I use to cut holes in cement board
Durock, hardi-backer, wonder board etc. I assume some type of carbide
drill bit but what is it called? Holes big enough for pipes and shutoff vales. Thanks. |

"Hole saw" you can do it either way but I've found it easier to punch it with a hammer http://www.cgcinc.com/pdf/howtos/EDR_6209.pdf |

You can use a small one and drill multiple holes for smaller openings, then break out the middle. Or drill corner holes and use a carbide blade in a sabre saw. You can use regular steel bits and blades, but they won't last long. A 1/8" carbide cutting bit in a dremel tool or other high speed tools works very well. For longer straight cuts, score and break, or used a masonry abrasive blade in a circular saw (but don't breath the dust). Bob |

Harbor Feight has carbide coated hole saws that should make short work of any of the cement boards. Even diamond in 7/16" and 3/4" sizes for $3. Cat # 32399-9GBG. Latter ought to last quite a while.

It is hard on regular hole saws, but they work quite well. It is
often easier to get an oversized piece of scrap pipe, support the sheet well, and punch the pipe through the sheet with a hammer. This method works just as well on drywall. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) wrote in message s.com...
