I just purchased a large ceramic pot which has a 1/4 inch hole at the
bottom.

I need to fit the pot over a 1 & 3/4 inch pipe to use in an outdoor
fountain.

is there a tool that I can use to enlarge the existing hole to 1 1/4
inches? I have a 3/4 inch battery driven drill. can also use a
direct power drill. I don't know whether I should use something like a
bit that saws, a bit that files, a bit that drills, etc.

all replies, opinions, suggestions, etc. welcomed! Aaron in N.

Large bullet grinding stone in a drill press. If it isn't big enough move the
pot around the stone until you are done.
A hand drill can work...but....

Having a partner spraying the stone/pot with water with a spray bottle will
help keep down the dust and keep things running cooler...

You should also be able to get a large enough hole saw for ceramics (RemGrit
is a brand, I think) which could be used with a drill press, or even a hand
drill if you can find one with a 1/4" pilot bit.

You can make a bullet stone out of a 1 1/2 round stone in a pinch. It's cheap!
