Tools?

[Mr. Purple]

What tool will i need to cut 6" holes in wood?

[evertking]

jig saw or hole saw bits and a drill.

[Mr. Purple]

I can't find any drill that will fit a
6" hole saw bit.

[texas grass]

need to find a different shank, most the saw parts are interchangeable

or a saw zaw, those are the most useful saw in my eyes

[Mr. Purple]

Would this hole saw

fit this drill?

DeWalt DW222 Heavy-Duty 3/8" (10mm) VSR Drill (0-1,200 rpm) (http://www.tylertool.com/heavdut38vsr3.html)

[texas grass]

i didnt see the shank size of the 6 1/4, but as you can see the dewalt has a 3/8" shank

look for something like this

Good luck

[Mr. Purple]

So a reciprocating saw can cut 6" diameters in wood?

[texas grass]

yeah if you can follow a line, but a hole saw will be the easiest
and sorry for the 2 same links i meant a kit like this
Amazon.com: Ryobi 5 Pc. 18V Combo Kit - Factory Reconditioned: Home Improvement (http://www.amazon.com/Ryobi-Pc-18V-Combo-Reconditioned/dp/B000FLX6JG/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7391357-0181404?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1192390831&sr=8-1)
depending on line of work, you really dont need a dewalt, ryobi is a good cheaper brand in my eyes

[Mississippi Steve]

Just go to Lowes or Home Cheapo and ask one of the sales weasles what they got that will cut a 6 inch hole in whatever material your cutting.....or does that make too much sense???

What type of chuck size is that ryobi drill?

Do they make hole saws for it?

If not i just buy that 5 pc stuff and use recrioprator,
cause i don't what to have to buy two drills as
i need to unscrew alot screws and make 6" holes
in a wall and you need certain size chucks two do that right?

I just hope the ryobi can do both.

Thx, saves money.

[texas grass]

a 3/8 shank

hole saw kits are universal to the shank size either a 3/8 for smaller sizes, and generally 1/2 for larger sizes

a 1/2 shank but a drill like that will cost abit more,

or get another smaller holesaw and interchange the saw part, most enterchange

[Mr. Purple]

This should do the job,
and it fits a 3/8 chuck.

[texas grass]

that should do good, ive never thought to use 1 like that before
good thing is you dont have to change bits anytime you want to change hole size

[trynagethigh]

if you have a drill already just grab a jigsaw at lowes, hd, menards, etc. Trace out your 6 inch diameter hole with a drafting compass (about 3 bucks at walgreens, office depot, etc.).Use a 1/2" drill bit to make a hole and use the jigsaw to cut out your circle cause that 6 inch holesaw is expensive. if you want to spend the 70 bucks, feel free, the right tool for the job is always best. You can get a cheap jigsaw for about 19 bucks.

If you have the room to work in, a sabre saw will work just fine....it will cut a fairly small radius circle, if you don't care what it looks like, use a sawzall, the hole saw in the electric drill will leave a very nice looking, neat hole.....the down side of the hole saw is that if it catches or binds in the hole, it will break your wrist. The larges hole saw that *I* will use in a drill is 4 inches, and I do that kind of stuff for a living.
