Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws

Hi guys
Any tips on how I can open up a 1/2” hole while the pipe is still in place without damaging the pipe?
Trying not to just cut a huge square out if can help it? It’s timber/ply.
Thanks
