Neone know where to buy Circle Saws for modding?

[Warthog912]

Anybody know of any GOOD online mod shops that sells circle saws in the usual formats? (80, 92, 120) I saw them on this one site bout 6 months ago, and I can't seem to find the site any more. All help would be appreciated, bumps are a welcome addition too.

-Peace

Why pay the premium for a special one 'made' for the job. Just goto your local hardware store and buy one. Save yourself $10-$20 unless you feel obligated to spend the extra money.
To size it is simple, just measure the opening for your fan or bring the fan with you to find the right one.

I think I saw some at CastETC a while ago. Not too sure though.

Did you try Home Depot?

note: dont buy 80 92 and 120mm bit sizes. get ones that are 2-4mm smaller or the hole will be end up being bigger then outside rim of the grille. also make sure you get a shank that fits your drill. dont plan on using a cordless drill either.

Lowes has holesaws, too. Check the "Toolworld" section.

I picked up a couple of Milwaukee Tools hole saws at my local Sears Hardware (it's one of the better ones); a 3" will cut close to an 80mm hole and a 3.5" will cut close to a 92mm hole... Also be sure to pick up some cutting oil. A word of warning though, these saws will require a LOT of torque from your drill, I have a 1/2" Craftsman drill that does the job but it just about yanks my arm out of the socket. Be sure to let it get up a good amount of speed before allowing it to bite into the case steel. Make sure you clean your saw after the job is done.

Milwaukee has some of the best cutting tools out there. But if all you are doing is this one mod, any cheapo one will do.

A solution to his delema for the speed is a drill press. A lot of people have those. If you don't know anybody who does. Bring it to a high school and have one of the student in wood/auto/welding class cut it out for you. Normally the teachers have no objections if you call and ask them before time.
