Fw: Holesaw help !

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm now a master at cutting holes in my ceiling. As my whole house is made
of concrete and steel beams (no wooden joists !), all the ceilings
downstairs are suspended. I have a nice void in which to run cables.

So, I've been drilling large holes in the ceiling everywhere to run cables
- and I've sussed how to fill it all in nicely - and it's then flat to the
touch. You'd never know there was a great big hole there.

It's fairly easy to drill out a new larger hole. Trick is, is to screw a
piece of timber (say a 1x2) to the plasterboard, and that it is smaller
the the new hole diameter, and mark the centre. You now have a solid piece
of wood for the arbor pilot to go to - once you've started with the
holesaw and it finds it's "guideline", the whole shebang with the
temp.
wood piece all comes out as one.

Piece of the preverbial.

Screwfix have one too, cuts up to 220mm and is similarly priced, see:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=24300&ts=09909

I'm not sure how easy it would be to use one of these to enlarge an
existing hole though, you may be better off with Keith's padsaw
suggestion.

Cheers,

Tim.
