Hello,
I have a concrete/regular drill , a cordless dremel, and a wired dremel knockoff with various wheels and bits.
I need to figure out how to drill a 1-5/8" hole without a hole saw. I need to make a 1-5/8" hole in a steel bracket and another same size hole in a metal salad bowl. I'm wondering if there is a way I can cut the circle out using a wheel with my dremel or not.
I'm trying to make a bracket like this http://shop.cwandt.com/products/tripod-light?variant=254796582 and the metal salad bowl will be my shade. I'm using this for beginners photography.
Thanks

Draw your 1 5/8 circle with a clean sharpie (that hasn't been used for a /b thread), drill as many holes inside the circle as you can, then use one of your dremels with a stone to grind out to your sharpie outline. The salad bowl is probably stainless, you may have to knock some starter holes with a nail, and it'll take longer. If you try the drill use a lubricant, a good sharp bit, and good luck. This will all take you some time. Assuming you know something about safety and procedure when drilling holes in thin metal here. Good luck.
mark the 1-5/8" hole circumference on the bracket and bowl, drill a bunch of small holes(e.g.1/8") around the circumference, and use the dremel to connect the holes.

Protip: the metal surround screws off of these.

Clicked your link.
$60 bucks for an L bracket, socket, cord, and a switch. You don't even get the tripod.

Yeah that's definitely too much money. I got a 50" tripod for 14 bucks. The light was 6 bucks. So with bracket and salad bowl it's way cheaper than that link.
