| A standard hole saw will cut cast iron. I recently used the Screwfix type and they worked. |

I recently drilled through a RSJ using a standard holesaw... took a while, but got there in the end! _________________ The dogs Shat on the carpet! |

CI is self lubricating aswell, a smaller pilot before the holesaw centre drill makes life easier too. _________________ Stella Stella Stella oy oy oy |
