I'm looking for some advice on how to cut a hole for my XL BGE in a piece of butcher block I got. My sister in law (new favorite) has a cousin who works at a local company who manufactures butcher block. Short version...I'm getting a 30" x 60" slab for $50. I thought that was a nice deal and would make an ideal top for my new BGE table.
I suppose I could use a jig saw but the top is 1 3/4" thick. I didn't know if that was too thick for a jig saw to handle and what type of blade do I use for hardwood?
I've also heard of using a router with a template and using multiple passes. I have a router but it's not a plunge router and do they even make a router bit long enough?
Oh, and the whole is 26 1/4 in diameter if that matters.
