I hadn't thought of the forstner bit/bearing trick... I like it :)

center) in the piece you are drilling and don't want the hole to go all the way

Why don't you just cut the basic shape and use a router? I believe that's

Good master Neil, I do believe that I have such a chop saw in my shop.
Why it hadn't occurred to me to use it for wheels is a mystery. I
know what I'll be playing with when I'm off work (paid time off,
even!) on the 24th :) Mayhap even over this weekend!

Clark my good man , I found the best way of making plywood wheels was
with a chop saw
http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T051/22-large.jpg
I bolted the work piece down securely with a large nut and rotated the
wheel taking off smaller and smaller `chunks` . The foto doesn’t show
a wheel as such but
Little bits that get cut off: have small piece of tape to hand and
once you've cut abit you stick tape on and it takes some of force when
it gets thrown out. Wont hold all the time but shouldnt come out too
quick. Masking tape also seems to work for cutting plastics like PVC.

Hi Clark,
I bought a set from Canadian Tire on sale for about 90$ Cdn. I set my
drill press to 1800 rpm and I cut 1" marine grade ply without a
problem. Just take it slow. I've probably cut in the neighbourhood of
40 wheels at 4 1/2 inches and the holesaw is just as sharp as when I
bought it.

Hi Fred,
Thanks for the calculator! That'll make life some easier :)
I tried drilling with a holesaw, but I think the set I have is cheap
and doesn't cut well. I had it going on 3/4" ply on my drill press at
990RPM and it was barely making a dent in the wood. Any
recommendations on a good se
And here's the on-line gear template generator I forgot to add to the

Hey Clark...
I've found a different solution. Four and a half inch hole saw. The
plug you take out becomes your wheel, complete with a 1/4" pilot hole
in the center. Add a half inch of rubber and voila, and round five
inch wheel. Having bought a hole saw kit, I can cut any wheel plug
from 1/2" up
