Need tools: why holesaw/arbor/drill to get?

[Maverick2002]

Already got a dremel and carbide bit. Also want to get a jigsaw (later) and soldering iron. For now, I need a drill, holesaw and holesaw arbor. Can someone tell me where I can get a good drill? Last time I got a great deal on a B&D RTX rotary kit ($30) at Home Depot. This doesn't need to be anything too fancy, just something that will get the job done and last a long time. Preferably not too expensive either. As for holesaws, I checked hardware stores but they don't have exact 80, 92, 120mm holesaws. However, CaseETC does and they also have an arbor:

80mm holesaw
holesaw arbor

Is $30 for both too much? I mean, how much do they usually run for? And I assume the holesaws don't actually wear down after use do they? If I get this I'm gonna be making a TON of blowholes, so I hope it'll last for about 100 or so. Thanks for the help!

Well I dont use a holesaw, the few times I have used one I have never liked the looks after the large hole was made. I draw a circle place a clear grid over the top and use a center punch to locate the holes and drill a whole bunch of 3/16 holes so it looks like a grill. I like that a lot better. If you use a hole saw be sure and lay the case side or whatever your drilling into solidly against some plywood or something and clamp the metal down really well or you will have a hug mess. Maybe even some cut hand or fingers.

Use lots of oil when cutting or your tool will get dull quickly.
A drill press works best.
I got mine at Sears.
