this was exactly what i had in mind when i did mine, so congrats on doing what seems to be such a perfect job. i have now changed my mind and plan to put the sleeve all the way through, but i am still curious as to how you got such a great fit. mine were pathetic.

google 'annular cutter'

A hole saw is basically a cheap knockoff of this tool, and all your walking and hole roundness issues will go away if you get a proper one.

right tool for the job. but i doubt most are going to spend $100+ for the bit for a single use job.

of course it doesn't have to be perfect once you epoxy it in place.
