tmelhiser Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I want to put some fans in my canopy and thought I would see if anyone has 120mm hole saw I could borrow for about 30 minutes (plus travel time to and from my garage). Sure wish Home Depot rented this type of stuff at like a buck an hour or something (seems like a money making deal for them) -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaJMasta Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 For holes that big, it can be tough to find a hole saw available in that size. I usually use the hole + scroll saw or jigsaw method. You just draw on the circle, drill the start point (inside the circle) and go to town with the saw. It takes a bit longer, but it works just as well and in my experience still ends up being pretty circular. If you have a fan grill you can cover any hole imperfections perfectly. If you're doing it in sheet metal, I'd just replace the scroll/jigsaw with a dremel tool with a cutoff bit. Also could be an excuse to buy a router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelhiser Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I ended up with the jigsaw method. All turned out ok once the fan cover was in place. I have a router, but I don't have any sort of jig for something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
