What tool will i need to cut 6" holes in wood?
jig saw or hole saw bits and a drill.
I can't find any drill that will fit a
6" hole saw bit.
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
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
Amazon.com: DeWalt DW304PK Heavy-Duty 10 Amp Reciprocating Saw: Home Improvement
or get a little kit like this

Harbor Freight Tools has them...

Good luck
So a reciprocating saw can cut 6" diameters in wood?
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
depending on line of work, you really dont need a dewalt, ryobi is a good cheaper brand in my eyes
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?Quote:

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

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
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.
