Does anybody have a 3" hole saw? I am thinking of getting a Dart on a closed loop for my new 180, but then I would need a 2" bulkhead, which requires a 3" hole. The ones I found on eBay that are 3" are $50 after shipping. I found some 75mm ones for $16 shipped, but they are 1.2mm less than 3", and I would hate to have a hole 1.2mm too small to fit a 2" bulkhead.

If anyone has one that I can borrow, that would be great! If you would prefer to drill for me rather than let me borrow it than that would be fine too.

What is the mm size you need? I think I have one.

If I have to resort to using a dremel I will, but I feel safer using a hole saw.

For a 3" hole I need a 76mm bit. However, I was just informed that I can get a 2" bulkhead that only requires a 2 7/8" = 73mm bit here

medic - Did you have any luck, or should I order one?

I have a 75mm and that works for the 2" bulkheads.

Awesome :) . I'm not sure when I am going to get around to drilling the tank. Maybe this weekend, maybe next weekend, or maybe even 3 weeks from now. May I borrow you and the bit when it comes time?
