    I've got a 110mm diamond hole bit, if I need to take more out, I'll first use my big bit and then nippers

    if its, say, 120mm I'll go in first with my 110mm, then finger guage another 5mm all round, and then just get my nippers to work Stevee. It's one of those thats easier to do than explain
