LF Diamond Hole Saws
 

Im looking for a 1 5/8" and 2 1/2" Apparently these are alittle harder to find than i thought here in victoria. If anyone has them i am willing to buy or rent them for a day. Thanks.

did you check at progressive? I know they have a few bit sizes

yeah i did, they were out of the sizes i need and apparently wont get any for a couple weeks :(

I've heard rona sells the cheaper ones or check some of the auto parts stores. Home depot used to have them but they were quite expensive. I dont know if you have one down there but up here midland tools sells them. you could check with the greater victoria aquarium club(TGVAS) someone there probably has some you could use.

Sorry, forgot to check when I got home. I have a 2 inch, which is what I used for the same size bulk head as the small one you bought. You can borrow it if you like, it's been used for 2 holes, so still in great shape.

chandigz - yeah ive checked auto and hardware stores, no dice. everyone seems to have up to 1 3/8 nothing bigger. Maybe ill throw a post on TGVAS, thats a good idea thanks.

Aquattro - Thanks so much for the offer, much appreciated, I figure i might as well wait until i have both sizes so i just have to set it all up once. I was surprised theres not more selection around. If i can find a 2 1/2" hole saw ill send you a pm.

Thanks alot guys.

Do you have a PrincessAuto store there. I know the one in surrey does sell them, not the greatest quality but works good for a few holes. I could always pick them up and send to you if you want. Cant remember price but I know they are very reasonable. If interested I will get exact price for you.

Or you can order from here

Damn!! We need a princess auto around victoria! im not even sure if there is even one on the island? I think i might just order a couple online of the site you gave me chewie. Thanks though!!

if you order through aqua cave do not do ups shipping. they will ding you with insane brokerage fees

Got a set of 4 different size bits from EBay for $30 and have drilled a dozen or more hole with them so far, just an idea for ya.
