I've done this before many, many times Andy and I am still a bit uncomfortable with the operation.

It can be Andy. This was a simple one. I only had to cut 1/8" deep to get thru. The deeper you have to go the scarier it gets. The deepest I have cut is 1/2" on a 14 inch diameter. That one made me sweat profusely near the end. You have to really watch your tool clearances.

The tool. This one is quite radical, but it works well. You can use the cutting edge out away from center, or turn it 90* and the cutting edge is in toward the center Here you see Top, cutting edge out and front views.
