Thanks Jeff!
I do have a used dull 40mm so its time to buy a sharper 38mm saw which will fit a 3/4 bulkhead a bit better

I just buy the cheap disposable holesaws. Drill a few holes then throw it away. lol The actual real good quality glass holesaws are very pricey to buy.

I buy mine off of ebay. The one I bought yesterday was $6.00 w/free shipping so you can't go wrong! Last one I bought I got 6 holes out of it so a $1.00 a hole. Drill a hole for only a $1.00!! LOL
