Enlarging a faucet hole using a diamond hole saw - keeping the bit wet?

I'm replacing a faucet, going from a three hole to single hole faucet (using a plate to mask the other holes). I need to enlarge my centre hole from 1.25" to 1.5", and bought a diamond hole saw to do the job. I'd like to keep the cutting head wet to reduce the nastiness of the job, but I'm struggling to think of a way since water will just want to pour out the existing hole. Any ideas on minimizing mess and heat during the job? I'm all ears. submitted by /u/daswoogs [link] [comments]
