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.Make sure to measure the CUTOUT for the product (speaker, recessed light) .INSTRUCTIONS: 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 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.Uses 1/4" pilot bit.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.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.
