I was going to try but could not put-together a proper way to hold the saw
steady. I was
thinking it should possible if used on a drill press vs. a handheld drill.
Either that or make
a jig which bolts onto the wheel similar to those "portable drillpress" kits
designed for hand-
held drills. I don't know how precise the resulting centerbore would be
though.
