It looks like this thread has pretty well wound down, so I'd like to say "Thanks!" for all the good information here. I'm often amazed at how much one can learn from everyone on this forum.

WhiteRook, regarding your question about how much the hole cutters cost, I saw a 1/2"-2" set of the Blair cutters online for $160 at www.autotoolmart.com . Search for "Holcutters" (with no "e").
