Cutting holes in ground insulation for 110mm waste pipes

Featured Replies

Hi

Anyone got any tips for the best way to cut 110mm  holes in 100mm PIR for the waste pipes, I can’t find any hole saws deep enough to go through the 100mm Celotex 

I just used a small saw blade in a Stanley knife blade handle.  Foam filled any gaps

Plasterboard saw. Cut it big and rough then just foam around.

I found a wood jab saw from screwfix £4.99 , 300mm long to cut my 250mm slab insulation. Same as a pb saw but longer if needed. 

I’ve got a 110mm hole saw somewhere that got “modified” with a slot cut into the top and then the edge bent down to cut through EPS as it basically acts like a food processor blade and chops the core out as it goes - it’s not pretty but works ..! Now if I can remember where it is …..
