YES, put a backer behind the grill and use the holesaw in reverse.

I am hoping to get mine cut this weekend what would you recommend to use as a backer? My first thought was a block of wood but if it's not the same conical shape, which would be hard to find, wouldn't you run the risk of bending the grilles?
