cutting a hole in a bumper

[melmount]

I want to cut a 1-3/4 hole in a bumper? I need a hole saw. whats bi-metal mean? what tool do i need to get to do this with? It needs to be a clean cut(pretty much)

Bi-metal means there are two metals in the hole-saw bit. Usually the teeth are something harder then steel such as carbide, diamond, etc. I personally would just use a cordless drill. I also would put down some tape where you are going to drill so the shavings don't scratch your bumper.

Mind if I ask what you are cutting the hole for?

I am going to use my cordless drill, but you think a hole saw will do it?

[mick883]

Got it. A hole saw with fresh teeth yes.

i just bought an 08 bumper for my 01. same color. But theres a dent in it. In a great spot for the trailer tow plug. The 08 bumper does not use the same mounting bracket as my 01. i willkill 2 birds with one stone.

You can rent a quality hole saw from most rental places. I borrowed mine from a local body shop when I did the Marinco Mod.
