Tank drilling

[slandis3]

I wont have time to get it done for the meeting, I am waiting for the material to come in.

I will make it up not a problem, I got the bit from Brian today so I will just make it with the bits.

slandis were you trying to make a jig still and were you trying to have it done for the meeting? or should I just make up these wood ones (if todd and pete still want em)

Yessir! Do you need the specs I would need again?

Your doing a 1" bulk head right.  That should be a 1-3/4" hole.  I just made a jig out of 1" thick HMW HDPE.  Worked pretty well.

So what does everyone do to the holes once they are drilled.   Any polishing?

Don't know honestly, this is my first hole drilling.

you said 36" with the  45mm holes drilled in the center of the tank with a 3" spacing... right? if so the only thing I need clarification on is did you want 3" from each hole or 3" on center?

And is this what you want also todd?

I was thinking the holes we drill out could be siliconed to some pvc and made into some top down viewers?

3" hole to hole. I am trying to give as much space between the holes without spreading them out too far and looking goofy.
