In Response To: Tools: Oscillator for hatches? (YakAbout)

I know nothing about an oscillator, cutting the hatch is always a heart stopping event. My method is to trace the hatch outline on the deck then cover the outline with a good tape pressing it down so it makes very good contact with the deck,retrace the hatch outline drill small 1/16" holes and use the finest blade you can find,I set my jigsaw to the slowest speed and with my heart in my mouth soooooly cut to the line.
