Cut a hole in some 1/4" plastic and now cannot get the plug out. Need some help.

Pre-drill and drive two screws into the plexiglass, then back the disk out of the hole cutter with a screwdriver.

Do it all the time with plywood.

I use a "cotter key remover" or "hook tool", which is basically a screwdriver with a pointed end bent at 90 degrees. Work the plug out with the tip stuck in the slots of the holesaw, one side then the other. CalJim

Most of the hole saws have two holes in the back end and slots on the side to push out the plug. If it is really stuck try putting it in the freezer for and hour and then push it out. The plastic coefficient of expansion is greater than the steel and it should help with the release.

Hi Hersel,

When that happens to me I usually take the hole saw apart and knock the plug out through the hole where the mandrel and bit had been. Of course3 this won't work for you if you have a hole saw that doesn't come apart for some reason.

Good luck, Stan
