Put a mark or colored strip of electric tape on your drill bit at the depth you want to stop so you know you're their...no more measuring. "This slides right into your entrance hole" 😂
Sure david it is a "hole saw". I like the ones Spyder makes. You can check them out here and they are carried by most big box stores: www.spyderproducts.com/toolpages/spyder-hole-saw/
Thanks for the info! I wasn't familiar with the brand but it looks like a great, effective tool. Though the bit in your picture looks like a different style bit than the standard core eject hole saw blades I saw on the Spyder site. Will the 2.75" size hole allow for the lid to come out when the quart jar is removed or does it require unscrewing the jar with the lid stuck inside the feeder?
It should be a tight fit. You can adjust the tightness though with sandpaper in the hole after you drill it. I like them tight and take the whole feeder out, you may like to just remove the jar in which case you can use the sandpaper to take just a couple thousandths off the inside of the hole.
David, I normally do this item with a hole saw, which is why i said hole saw without even looking at the video. This is, in fact, a Forstner bit I used in the video. Thanks to David Orr for pointing this out!
Awesome video n thanks for sharing
Anytime Dennis, and thanks for stopping in!

@@FunnyBugBeesandWoodWorks This "drill" is a FORSTNER bit. a hole saw looks like a saw blade...round.
