Hi Joe
The Hole saws are the hard way to do it
. it can cut the 1 3/16" hole easy but when it comes to the 1 3/8 hole (recess hole it can't do it right,) it must be flat and true to hold the brass guide just right..
I also use a fly cutter that works well but a good set of forstner bits is the way to get the job done right plus you can make your own base plates to hold the big guides ( 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" ) Oak-Park/Lee Valley type and they do come in handy when you need to use a bigger bit ,like a 1" for just one of many...
