Hey everyone
I bought some hard acrylic display boxes to mod for enclosures. I also have some 2" screened vents that will fit on the lids quite nicely.
The problem is drilling a 2" circle with a hole saw. I have a run of the mill hole saw from home depot but it seems way too aggressive and binds up when I'm drilling.
Has anyone used a carbide coated hole saw for hard plastic? Use a fine tooth hole saw? Have any suggestions for making the 2" hole? I've tried taping the lid but the saw still grabs and cracks the plastic.
I know can drill a bunch of small holes but I am looking for a way of making a 2" hole in the plastic without cracking it.
Thanks!
