I removed the pilot drill by loosening the set screw. At first I used the hole saw with the teeth still on to prove the concept. After it worked so well, I ground the teeth off. Works great!!! I have also used it in a 3/8 inch corded drill, since we have 110vac in our pits. It has started 35cc and up gassers. I got the hole saw set from Harbor Freight on sale really cheap.

Great tip. Care to share some pics?
