Good points. My disks are quite brittle, but they seem to hold together
ok in this application. Also, to drill the hole the disk must be sandwiched
firmly between two pieces of something (wood). Mine slipped a bit so the
holes are not exactly on center, but it's good enough. Also, it's hard on the
drill bit since the disks dull the main cutting surface. I was desperate
though.
