How do I keep it centered? Dose it jump all around?

 

You could do a search on this as it has been covered many times. A lot has been said.

The hole saw goes in on the front side of the wheel and centers itself. It drops into a recess. The actual cutting is only about half of the thicknes of the wheel, the rest is alread just over 4 3/4"

Use a hole hog type right angle drill and let the weight of the drill drive the saw. Hold on so it won't catch. Then sand the hole and to clean it up with a 2" drum sander on a high speed drill motor. Make sure the hole clears the center hub on the axle easily.

Enjoy the wheels.

think i have to use a hole hog? 1/2 inch drill should work?

 

The hole saw will want to jump out of the hole until you have a good groove going. You really need a drill with the side handle and hold that thing tight!! Then you will have to cut it out some more with a grinding burr....

 

I went to the hardware store and spent 30 buck for a cutting bit designed for aluminum. I put itin my die grinder and went to town. I think other people have used the same type bit with a router. I just took off a little bit at a time until they cleared the fronts. It probably took me 2 HRS total to do 8 rims.

 

Well I will give er a try tomorro...

 

get it done piece of cake,burnt out a drill but turned out nice.Now what to do with the 65.00 hole saw anyone need one?Truck rides 10 times better than them hard michellens

 

My drill still smells anytime I use it after about a year...LOL

 

i might need that hole saw as soon as i find some of them h2 rims

 

$65 for the saw? And a burnt drill? Shoot, a local machinist did mine for $80!

 

just my luck.no machinest around for me

 

I completely understand...

 

Sounds like a broken arm waiting to happen.

I picture someone laying on the garage floor with a drill cord wrapped around them.

 

no wasnt that bad at all.

 

I did a set for a friend using a hole saw and a big drill press. Turned out very nice. I did another set using a router and a cutting bit. They turned out very nice too. My neighbor did a set using his roto zip. My wheels were done at a machine shop, only because at that time I could not find a hole saw or the cutting bit anywhere.

Truck DOES ride better with the wheels and larger tires.
