[QUOTE="J Piroth, post: 746142, member: 62488"] I used a 3" hole saw recently to cut some plexiglass, but there's a trick to it. If you run the drill in reverse, the teeth will actually shave the aluminum instead of really grabbing it. With the plexi, the grabbing when the drill was run forward resulted in splitting the whole piece of plastic. If the teeth grab your soffit, it could rip or twist it instead of giving your the nice round hole you want, so I'd give running it in reverse a try first. [/QUOTE]
