fishmouthing tubing with holesaws works fine for me, most of the time.
I get fair life expectancy out of regular hole saws, even more out of a nice carbide-toothed one....
however, I'm wndering how well a bottom cutting end mill would work?
I know some guys use this technique to fishmouth tubes in a lathe (milling bit in t he chuck, tube clamped to the bit holder)
One day I'll own a real lathe for home, but in the meantime, i'm wondering if a milling bit would work in a drill press?
one ton?
