    using a hole saw to drill a pot

    is there any reason not to use a bi-metal hole saw to drill a pot? i see most of the posts here mention using a step bit (which i used for the first two holes on my pot), but i gotta drill a 1" hole and i figure why not use a hole saw to save some time?

    if i lived alone, i'd have to stop brewing now legally!

    feeler gauges? where to get them?

    so i've been to about four hardware stores and either they know what i'm talking about (the local small mom and pop stores) or the home depot/lowes employees look like i'm speaking french to them. where do i find these things? or what do i call them to get people to understand? thanks!
