Doc Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Has anyone got a 3" or 76mm hole saw I can borrow to make one hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I might have one. I'll check. Does it have to be exactly 76mm, as hole saw sizes vary, so there's plumbers, and electricians. This is for fitting common items in those trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 This sounds like a viewing hole for an azimuth setting circle - possibly with a hair line marker on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnC Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 And perspex to protect it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Mick is there a set of plans for the DIY GoTo Dob. Iv get plenty of teflon if needed in block or bar LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 No plans as such Andy, all in my head so to speak. I'm not building a dob just modding an existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 If you guys are not sorted, I have a hole saw and a series of drils that also act as 'saws' and leave a very tidy cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks for the offer Damian, only problem is the distance to pick it up, Rob and Baz are just round the corner so hopefully they have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi Mick, No worries, whilst the hole saw would be a pain to post the drills would go easily into a jiffy bag for posting!! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Cheers for the offer also, if the other guys can't deliver, Mansfield is only 15 minutes away so I may take you up on the offer, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
