I ordered a new bushing from Annapolis Plastics. Not cheap ($$88) but I don't have the hole saws to do it myself. If you are replacing yours you might consider using them.
True. When I did it, I had an enormous collection of hole saws on hand. It depends on the job, and how many other jobs you're going to do in the future.
I actually brought my entire collection of hole saws with me when I took off cruising. Even nested, they filled an entire plastic tub and weighed about 15 pounds. I thought I would be able to help other cruisers and get karma points. But every time someone called out on the radio for a hole saw it was clear to me that the person hadn't been thinking ahead, or the person wanted a standard small size, or whatever. And the hole saw bin was buried deep (because I'm done drilling holes in this boat) and pulling them out would involve making a big mess, and I was hung over or it was too hot or both. So about two years ago I went on a rampage to get an inch of waterline back, and the hole saws were given away. I kept a few, but gave most to an SS welder in La Paz who I've known for 9 years. Got some karma points, as he's done some SS work for me for free.
But if you can't afford hole saws, get a bench belt sander. <VBG> Wal <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8> -- s/v Stella Blue www.wbryant.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
