Thread: Question on PVC Beds

Welcome from South Central Mississippi. Spade bits is what I use, hole saw bits and step bits would work also but to me they would be a slower process. If you are using 1/2" PVC pipe for the arms through bigger PVC I use a 13/16 spade bit for a real tight fit and a 7/8" for a looser fit for 1/2" PVC. It would help if you posted what you are trying to make or how you are trying to make them with the PVC pipe.

Step bits work great up to their intended size.

If you use a hole saw, you have to continually take out the plugs...which is a pain!

I use wood bits. I have a 3 generation family supply. I also use DeWalt skil saw to cut the pvc.

Guys,

Thanks for all the replies. I'm using 1/2 inch PVC for the limbs. The hole saw works great but a pain to remove the excess.

Been there done that. From my experience, the step bit would work best for 1/2" material.
You can get those at Lowes or Home Depot if you do not have one already.

Wow! Those will work good and will still be there when that little man is grown. Thanks for sharing the fish habitat picture.

Thanks for the advise.
