I've added this to the project locator sticky.

What's the largest diameter this will cut? I know it is limited to the handle length, but from the center of my handle to the blade is only about 8".

Edit: Never mind, I just remembered this concept called math. R=1/2D

I cut 12" (diameter!) holes, which is about the limit due to the rim of the keg.

Oh yeah, if you've got a cheap angle grinder from HF, it won't work. The handles are 180 degrees to the blade. There is no way to use the handle at 90 degrees to get the blade perpendicular to the keg top. Looks like using Bobby's jig for me.

if i do another one, id fill it half full with water. i have some spots of rust where slag adhered. after the 5 gal cools off in there right now, i gotta clean the crap outta it.

sparks from a grinder or slag from a plasma cutter?

I just got a keg that was half-full of 2 month old Bud lite. I had to taste it. It was absoultely the worst s--t I have ever tasted. I will never dis' my own homebrew again!

I was at a street fair tonight. There was a trailer with a bud tap. $3. I had to taste it. It was absoultely the worst s--t I have ever tasted. I will never dis' my own homebrew again! True.

I can't believe you tasted it. That is funny as hell.

bud banquet when it is extremely fresh and nearly frozen on tap is the greatest any domestic swill can be. ie. the dragstrip in 110F weather, its all the calories without that irritating buzz. and a great colon flush to boot.
