My original order for hole saws was incorrect due to not taking this into account. For instance, a 1 inch bulkhead requiring a 1 7/8 inch hole is equivalant to 47.625mm. One inch equals 25.4mm. I would test drill in scrap glass and try the bulkhead for fit or at least compare the bulkhead with the actual hole saw before drilling. I just got the three bulkhead sizes I will be using and the new hole saws I ordered from Lau should arrive tomorrow or soon after. My 130 and 300 will soon have holes in them.
Thanks for the heads up. I double checked everything, and the 45mm saw works nicely with my 1 inch bulkheads (the bulkhead fits in the hole saw itself). I'm just concerned that I may not be able to cut 5 holes with one saw. I think I should be able to, but that's why I asked the question. Any thoughts on that?
