Hole saw for Jar Lids
    #15681233 - 01/17/12 11:07 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

I'm thinking about getting a set of hole saws for use in creating monotubs, and it occured to me that perhaps I could use it to cut holes in jar lids?  Drilling with regular drills bits has left me with burrs on my lids, which I don't like.  I could call up a fabrication shop and get them to punch me some holes in my lids and I'm sure that wouldn't cost too much... but I would prefer to do it myself.

My question is, would a hole saw work for this purpose?  I'm looking to make these lids with ~0.5in holes which I will be sealing with synthetic filter discs attached with CTV.

You would probably be better off using a forstner bit.

1/2" Forstner Bit is what I use and it is amazing, I have used it for both plastic and metal lids, no burs at all.  A normal bit would probably be better than a hole saw for metal lids, but you really can't go wrong with Forstner bits.
