Oh, I didn't think about a hole saw, that's gotta be much faster! I found my router jig, it goes down to a 1" circle but requires several passes.
Love the drill press dust collection attachment!
@Tom Tee posted:I use a 3 1/2" hole saw with a 1/4" pilot on a drill press stand to cut out the plywood disks. The plastic/vinyl nipple pad is cut with the same hole saw with a hand held drill motor on some scrap Homasote.
I use a vac on the drill stand to keep the circular cut clean.
You can see the 3 1/2" scars from cutting the disks on the scrap 2 X 12.
I then insert a large landscape timber nail into the pilot hole and hold the disk with friction on a router table with a 1/4" round over bit. The disk rartles around somewhat and is a tad nasty but it gets the job done.

That looks like a similar short loop berber carpet to what is in my finished basement.
For my layout step 1 was building the lift table, step 2 was taking down and crating up an 8' Olhausen pool table (~700lbs) last night. My son wants it so I'll have to find room to store it somewhere. But the lift table is out of the shop and almost in position.
