    Idler drive project

    new plinth and arm for pioneer PL518

    Yes is just a regular hole saw. the pioneer motor OD is 85mm, the Bosch saw is 86mm, so a perfect size. Took a long time to cut, perhaps 30mins each hole. I looked for a 86mm diamond tipped saw but they were big £££ and did not want to spend alot for a single use job.
