So I would like to use this hole saw in the tailstock to rough out a 2-3/4" hole.
I am certain that my MT2 taper will slip and possibly score the taper. How can I prevent this? I could put a spanner on the drill chuck? I don't have a proper trepanning tool. Any other ideas? I am drilling through 1-1/2" aluminum so I plan to attack from both sides.
Alternatively, I could just drill the pilot hole on the lathe and then move to the DP (although that has a MT2 taper also now that I think about it.)
