Going through a 2 by 6 with a knife is gonna get you
a lot of frustrating exercise. If you have a drill,
power that is, you can mark out the edge of the hold with tape or a
string with a nail at each end that's the radius of your hole.
then drill 1/4 inch holes around the edge just inside the

My worry with the paste method is that you havn't any good way to know
that you've melted the solder with the pipe not with the
flame. In electronics at any rate, that leads to cold joints which
are weak and non-conductive. In plumbing I'd worry about
weakness. Feeling the solder get
Dear List members:
I have used whole-saws to cut wholes in wood stock, but care must be taken
to use only a saw which is deep enough to accomplish the task. The suggestion
that the work be turned over after the pilot bit has emerged from the opposite
side from where you start the cut, is a
A fly cutter is a drill bit set into a thicker mandrill which is to be mounted
into the chuck of a drill press. There is a bar which runs through a square
hole in that mandrill laterally which can be slid further out from the shaft
and tightened into place with a set screw. This lateral bar has
A fly cutter looks like a drill bit with an arm sticking out of the shank of
the bit.
Thereis a second cutter fasten to this arm on a sliding arrangement. You
adjust the distance
between the main bit, center, and this extra cutter for the radius of your hole.

Don't know the answer to your question about the protective stuff, never heard
of it. As far as to when a pipe is hot enough, I try and time it. Another good
indicator I would think is when it starts smoking. Every time this happens, a
buddy of mine says it's plenty hot. And the smell is pretty
Another caution from personal experience:
If you're going to use one of these cutters, even in a drillpress, be sure
to remember to slow the drillpress down to it's slowest speed, and be very,
very, careful about clamping your work on the table. Rmember that things
are going to vibrate and
I actually have two of these, one is exactly as Dale described it, the other
is apparently intended for cutting tyle. I assume it has a carbide tip on
the cutter. The set screws are allen type on the one for wood, the tyle
cutter has hand screws, and I can't imagine it would maintain its radius
I don't know, maybe until I get proper tools I'll just have them cut the hole
at the lumber yard for me. Best not to take chances.

Somewhere in the distant past, probably at Sears, I bought a nest of deep whole
saws for about $12.00. They would Easley cut a whole through 2 inch stock.
They were definitely not of top quality and because of their extra depth they
got out of round easily. They got a lot of use and didn't

Ed,
I build or repair golf clubs as a hobby. One neat gadget I picked up along the
way is something called a third hand. It is a pretty heavy piece of half inch
steel with a goose neck and a big alligator clamp to hold the heat gun. It
weighs in the area of 7 pounds so tipping it over takes
