True Andy, but the hacksaw blades available in these here parts need about a 5/8" starter hole. Perhaps a metal blade in a sabre saw if you have one with a tight guidance. The one I have thinks tight is less than 50 thou of sideways slop. Even with my shaky hands, I could grab the blade in a vicegrip and guide it better. If I could get it thru a 9mm hole. That is TBD, and might require grinding away a mm or so of the back of the blade. I just bought another grinder last week, $4 at a yard sale. Plain bearings but runs 100x smoother than one I paid $70 for 10 years ago, 1/8+ inch of endplay, but coasts for 3 or 4 minutes after shutoff. Qiuute fine grained wheelstones burned full of wood or plastic, took a while to clean that up with one of those 1x1x6 black carbide dresser bars. I'll get my $4 use out of it. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
