great tool - much better than a hole saw Originally Posted by rjw_hvac_tech just had classmate says he order this for his boss the other day http://www.holepro.com/ I have used basketballs and 2-litre bottles cut down until I saw the Hole Pro adjustable hole cutter at a job site. An electrician was cutting more than 30 holes in a plaster ceiling for can lights and he was the first one done that day. I bought the 12" model for mostly 9" duct holes but now see they have a 6" model that is great for Unico type high velocity outlets and for PVC pipes for the air intake and condensate lines from high efficiency furnaces. And ever try to find a 9 inch hole saw?

round holes????? Mark is 100% right. With the exception of Unico systems, why would you cut a round hole in the first place. Ductwork should be rectangular so that the air "washes the windows" to keep the outside temperature from getting inside. Round supplies are triple old school
round holes?????

I have a circle cutter attachment for my Rotozip. The only problem is you need to have some one right there with a shop vac catching all of the dust. It makes a pretty hole though.
For Unico small holes(4")we have a basketball cut in half with a 1/2" hole in the bottom for the hole saw arbor.Nice and clean and no plaster dust in the eyes.
Just to let you know, the link has changed for those downlight hole cutters: http://www.pegasusassociates.com/RoundHoleCutter.html
Yeah, but is there one that can cut square and rectangular holes? I can't remember ever needing or wanting to cut a round hole in a cieling.

Thanks Gil, that is the puppy.
Bes LC-1025 Multi-size hole cutter with adjustable blades. http://www.bizrate.com/videoaccessor...394488939.html Here it is for $109-12 with a photo. I assume it's sold for cutting speaker holes.

If you didn'tlike the first link, try this one. Cuts holes up to 10 5/8" and is on sale for 114.98. http://www.audio-discounters.com/lc-1025.html
Yeah, I feel its more productive anyway for a 2 man crew to have a tool like this. I hope that someone finds it so I can get more info on it.
when you're a one man show that is rather hard to do. This tool eliminates the second guy.
we also use a guy upstairs in the attic with a sawsall and one with a box down to catch the ****...
Actually, you mark the ceiling for the boot size and cut along the lines with a sawsall.
Needs to cut a 9 1/4 hole...
can't beleive someone hasn't seem this thing.
