    Two options I would use: use a rounded rasp file if it's slightly out. Or MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE; stack 2 holesaws on your arbor. The size you want to make first, then the size you have, which will guide you in.
    Note: Not all Arbors are stackable, and some have different threads.

    That is a nice tip, and one I didn't know about, and the last lock which I had to replace was years ago in a door which was of the old design, and I was installing a modern lock in that door which required me doing some cutting and drilling to get the modern lock put in that door. That was for my Aunt who lived in Saginaw, Michigan and I had to buy new tools, and parts there to complete the job. The door is still up many years later and I noticed it the last time I was up there staying with my cousin.

    HI LEAH,
    I ran into this problem once and came up with a much easier, faster and cleaner solution...
    I simply drilled the larger whole saw into a 6" square piece of 1/2" plywood, then l used it as a jig and clamped it where l wanted the whole enlarged. Worked like a charm. Hope you like this idea.
    My name is Chris (in case you ever make a video using this method and you'd like to give me a shout out). lol

    Another thing you can do is, only if you have enough thread on the guide bit you could install larger hole saw and the smaller hole saw below it. The smaller hole saw will act as a guide.

    • @QuarterinchoffDIY
      @QuarterinchoffDIY 6 років тому +1

      Serge Shariy that is another way i just learned, basically you mount two hole saw blades at once. The original stablizes the drill and the second cuts the newer hole.

    You won't believe this but this is what I was doing when I clicked on your video! You are a mind reader as well as a driller (etc.). I am trying to make the center piece that goes in the hole of a 45 rpm record. So far, it's a fail because I think cardboard is the wrong material and I don't yet have a driver/drill with a hole cutter. And the hole is probably not centered. Amazon, here I come. (P.S. I just ordered a pack of hole saws.)

    Oh Leah, I have done a simular trick for years. Customers cutting wrong size holes or me retro fitting hole to a bigger size. The trick I use requires no gluing. If you take the 1st holesaw you had and put it inside of the bigger one you can save time and cut it from both sides instead of tearing through one side. You may have to pull the pilot bit out further or use a longer one. It kinda depends on the type of arbor set up you have.

    Another way to approach this problem is to temporarily secure another piece of lumber (sacrificial) to the face you've previously drilled. Find center again, this time on the face of your sacrificial board and drill. The new board acts as a guide for your hole saw.

    @k.b.woodworker3250 6 років тому

    Leah, making the impossible possible! I've cut circles with a router and a jig that uses a center pivot. I've wondered how I could make the hole larger without the center piece. Based on your idea, what I'd do is screw the center circle back into the MDF sacrificial top I use for making circles and also screw the outside piece into it.
    Now, I'd like to know how to make it smaller if I cut it too large ;) (Find a new piece of wood, and start over, ha ha!).

      One other bit of safety advice when using a table saw. When ripping (pushing your stock length wise through the blade) never stand directly behind the stock. If it kinks even a little, that blade will pick up your stock and throw it back at you. Hard.
      I had a kick back as a teenager. A piece of 1 x 8 x 12 cherry kicked back and hit me just below the belt buckle. Hit me like a 410 shotgun or a pro boxer. Laid there on the floor for a few minutes before I could breath. Never had a kick back since, but just in case, I also never stand directly behind my wood either.
      Be safe and have fun!

  • @lees3935
    @lees3935 4 роки тому

    Enbiggening the hole works well by adding the larger hole saw to the arbor over the one used for the first hole. Finish the hole from the reverse. The glue method requires a bit of precision setting the plug for critical measurement.

    @richardkandalec4128 6 років тому

  • @elvis459
    @elvis459 4 роки тому

    An easier way to do it is to unlock the back off the centre drill bit, place the larger hole cutter over the small hole saw, replace the bolt and lock the 2 hole saws together. The fact the the larger one is attached to the back of the smaller one, means it is a millimetre or two further back and you can use now the smaller hole saw as your guide.

    Wonderful trick! Any bright ideas for cutting a larger hole when the old hole is old and existing? I recently changed out my front doorknob from 1957 for a new one and needed a larger hole. I ended up marking the hole and simply using a round file until I got the necessary size, but this girl would sure have been happier if I could have used my hole saw.

    • @seejanedrill
      @seejanedrill  6 років тому

      A number of folks have given alternative methods. One being using a piece of scrap wood to overlap the existing hole, with the proper sided hole already cut out and then just bore the hole again using the scrap wood as the guide. This is perhaps difficult to visualize.
