A plurality of cutting elements is coupled to the second end of the side wall, and a retention feature extends outwardly from the side wall. The cutting member is rotatable by the arbor to cut a hole in the workpiece. The retention feature is configured to engage the workpiece as the cutting member cuts the hole to secure the cutting member within the hole. The arbor is removable from the cutting member while the retention feature engages the workpiece to leave the cutting member in the workpiece to plug the hole.
