HolePro T-200 1-5/8″ to 8″ Adjustable Hole Cutter for Recessed Lights Speakers. Twin High Speed Steel HSS Blades use ¼ Drill Power of a Hole Saw to Cut Sheetrock Plastic Soft-woods NO PLYWOOD/PLASTER
** DRILL NOT INCLUDED *** ***NOT FOR PLASTER *** NOT FOR ENGINEERED WOODS SUCH AS PLYWOOD OR OSB OR MDF*** HSS BLADES NOT REPLACEABLE *** Great for DIYer cutting holes in soft sheetrock for recessed light cans and speakers. Adjustable hole cutter with tough ball bearing mounted ABS shield with silicon gasket dust seal. High speed steel blades cut through sheetrock and have a thin kerf profile to cut through wood, plastics, and delicate acoustic tile. Requires only a hand drill with a 3/8″ or larger chuck to cut holes from 1-5/8 inches to 8 inches in diameter and materials up to 1 inch thick. Infinite adjustment and measure bar is marked in inches. Put one blade holder at “6” and the same with the opposite blade holder and the tool cuts a 6″ diameter hole. Shield catches all the shavings and dust and holds the cut section. Does away with the mess and need for drop cloths. ABS shield is strong enough to stand on and with its silicone rubber gasket is safe to use on any surface. Shield remains in place and the internal bearing allows the adjustable hole cutter to spin independent of the shield. Orange knob makes it simple to limit the cutting depth to reduce risk of cutting wires and pipes behind the sheetrock or paneling. Unlike single blade adjustable hole cutters there are no balance bars to change and nothing to break off and make the tool useless. No wobble as with single blade hole cutters so holes are perfectly round even when cut into soft sheetrock. *** NOT FOR USE IN DRILL PRESS*** Make sure to measure the CUTOUT for the product (speaker, recessed light) you are installing. The size of the product you are installing uses a larger cutout, and the needed size is different by manufacturer of the canned light or the speaker. As with any new tool, always test on a scrap piece of material to get familiar with the tool**** NOT FOR USE with PLASTER, or PLASTER type materials, including button board sheet rock, gypsum, etc.

This is a great tool if you have a newer house This is a great tool if you have a newer house.I should have purchased the pro model. My ceiling has wall board, a brown-coat and a skim coat, so it turned out to be harder than this tool could handle. I could cut 2 holes then had to sharpen the cutters. I made it to 13 holes but the last hole the cutter holder was starting to mark the surface.Now if I had regular drywall this tool would be perfect, it contains all the dust, is easy to set up. it is easily worth the…
So so much easier than cutting by handI bought this for speakers, I tested it first on some scrap and it works like a champ. Can’t speak to the durability of blades and I will concede that disassembling to change the blade offsets is not ideal. But most jobs you cut the same sized holes so you are not changing w each cutOne mistake I did make – I bought this for installing 6″ and 8″ ceiling speakers, thinking it’s an 8″ hole cutter , should be fine – my bad. If I had…
