After cutting the circle piece, you can see edges are not smooth so we need to smooth the edges.
We r using sandpaper to smooth the edge.
First thing you need to do,
Using 6inch nut arrange this pieces one by one as shown in the pic.
Then attach it to your drill machine and use sandpaper.
Make a Hole

After smoothing all edges, make a hole in the center. This hole's diameter will be little bite larger than your pipe diameter.
