Thanks Les
Youv'e given me some diff idea's. The forstner bits might be the best for me.They do have alot of sizes. Thanks! Lenny

If you want to use your dremel tool, you could pick up their circle cutting attachment - difficult to use with small diameters. Or pick up their router attachment, and make a base plate with a following collar and a series of templates similar to an inlay cutting kit. But it might be easier to pick up a forstner bit set if you are looking for small diameters.
You can use this hole saw, it's used for cutting holes in doors.
you can find em' @ any hardware store. cut a couple practice
holes beforehand,though. sizes are about 3/4" up to a couple
of inches big,all in one kit.

A couple of weeks ago, Harbor Freight (importers of Chinese-made tools) had a pretty decent hole saw kit on sale for 4 bucks.
These may not be the best tools in the world, but this one came with saws from 3/4" up to 2 1/2", two drill bits, and a plastic case; seemed to work just fine for my mandolin.
They have a forstner drill bit set for less than the price of a single bit from most other outlets.
Thanks! I have to try and find one of those.That looks like it would work.
