Not that it bothers me, but how do you get away with working ER and tokeing, don't they do random drug testing? Also I agree with you about the knife comment and I've got the scars to prove it.

Malevolence, nobody is saying you can't cut a hole with a knife without injuring ourselves, were just just saying it's much safer to use other more appropriate tools.

This may be news to you but drug testing in the workplace is a joke. I used to use something called a number 1 kit. Strap it on, get yourself the best job you can find. Fuck drug testing.

No, it's not news. I was just curious as to how he/she was drug tested, that's all. I've used that #1 strap kit too, but it's been discontinued. I think the comparable replacement is called the Field Kit incase anyone was wondering.

I build custom hydro setups for sale locally and found that the best tool for cutting perfectly clean holes in plastic is an adjustable hole cutter. Here's a picture of one. I use a cutter just like the one in the picture to cut holes in vinyl fence post to create a system like the General Hydroponics AeroFlow (with a few improvements). I've also used it with nice results on softer polyethylene tote lids.View attachment 2524196

If those without tools are going to buy one cutter then Mechmike's suggestion is the best. It can be adjusted to cut holes of any size. I cringe at the knife suggestions. 17 years of working ER makes me shy of cutting anything this shape and of this material. Plus I have done it and the hole edges are uneven allowing water to slip past and keep the deck messy.

Both are right on. When using this type of cutter to make a hole in thin plastic/material be sure to back the plastic up with a piece of wood under where the hole will be cut. It will help keep the hole saw centered and cut a much neater hole. Trying to just cut through the plastic will probable result in a not so round hole.

You can buy a hole saw kit for your drill. You can also buy individual hole saw bits in any size and cost less than $10 for up to 3"
