    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.

    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
    Love your channel.

    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.)

  • @chaoticlogic588

    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.

    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

  • @elvis459
    @elvis459 4 года назад

    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.

    @lees3935 4 года назад

    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.

    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.

    If you're adding new hardware to a door that had a pre-cut smaller hole, you could create a new cylinder peg and use your method, but I found another method that was quick and easy. Sandwich the hole between two 1x4 or 1x6 boards. Then you can cut over your hole and maintain your grip for a perfectly placed larger hole. Applied this method to my front door successfully.

    grab a piece of scrap wood big enough to drill through with the larger desired size, drill a hole with the larger hole saw, then clamp the piece of wood with the larger hole to the material with the smaller hole in it, and use the piece with the larger hole in it as a guide around the outside of the hole saw. This works for any scenario where you need to cut a new hole.

      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!

    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 quick way is to 'stack' the hole saws - use the smaller hole saw as the guide, with the larger hole saw on the outside - separate them with a spacer and away you go! (doesn't work with every make of hole saw - cheap thin ones are especially good for this!)

    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.

      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.

    I use my hot glue gun for many things, it is certainly a handy little tool to have. They are not very expensive and well worth having around. Good tip on how to redrill that hole.

    That's great if you want a new hole off center from the original hole. This is a new hole based on the re-glued piece of wood which was not evenly placed back into the original hole so if your hole calls for a precise location on the wood you have just moved the hole over and it is now just made slightly bigger from the original anchor. But ok if your just making holes just to make holes lol.
