[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 865218, member: 67547"] FYI- If anyone has a project using large hole saws for instrument gauges or circular cutouts. Learned this the hard way shattering "gel coated" dash panels of high end custom boats. Don't know the similarity between "Gel Coat" and Automotive Paint when cutting holes. A sharp hole saw IS required. Tape the surface to be cut (tightly) with good quality masking tape. Go in slow and proceed as you normally would. That's it. Pull the masking tape and you will have a surgically clean edge. Hope this is not too "old school" for you guys. Damn, it's been 30 years since I worked at Eliminator Boats in Anaheim, CA. (1978) [/QUOTE]
