I have to agree with Tom, and I have an experience to share. I was cutting plastic on a drill press withb one of those adjustable cutters, and for what ever reason my work shifted ever so slightly, and the arm of the hool hit the c clamp I was using. The press was at a fairly high rpm, and the impact was enough to break the chuck and tool free of the spindle, and I swair I heard a whistle as they sailed by my right ear. Nothing serious happened, but I was alone at the time and had I been injured, it's hightly likely I wouldn't have been missed for several days.

I have to say it, fly cutters are intended for drill presses. Every professional machinist I've asked about them say they are the most dangerous tool they know of. I can't imagine holding a hand drill stable enough to get a round hole with one. A good hole saw is the tool for hand work. Tom Fowle
