This is not to discuss the pros and cons of Hole Saw vs. Step Bit.
I have a step-bit that is great for 1" holes but I know that it is too small for my water heater element. I did a test run with my PID and element in an old fermenter.
For anyone who has used a hole saw for a 1" Straight Thread Element and then used a 1" lock nut to secure it on the inside of the kettle utilizing the supplied gasket, what size Hole Saw did you use?
McMaster has bi-metal hole saws in 1/16" increments
