[QUOTE="kerching, post: 383246, member: 11861"] So new tumble dryer arrives. Needs a vent hole, never bothered with the old,one as it did not produce enough humidity to bother about. Out with the hole saw, start drilling. Plasterboard, celotex,plaster, single course of common...no problem. Across the cavity into the Accrington. Now my Accys are a specisl , now deleted, brick. Called rockface or NORI sculpture. I managed to get one of the blue ones!....similar to,staffy blues. Took all the teeth off the core bit about 15mm from breakthrough. Finished off with big bar and twatting stick. [ATTACH]5608._xfImport[/ATTACH] Decided for neatness to recess the colour of the 4" pipe into wall to make it flush. But i need to widen hole by about 10mm through plasterboard and celotex, but how? Brainwave time. Find holesaw same size as existing hole, use as pilot drill inside bigger holesaw same size as the collar. Same as the Starret oops adaptor Thread not long enough to hold two blades....plan two The saw blades have holes in them that line up, so a bit of nut and bolting and we have a solution that worked better than expected [ATTACH]5609._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then fit the new 'pilot drill/saw' [ATTACH]5610._xfImport[/ATTACH] Hole finished, wife happy as can be expected, brownie points earned [/QUOTE]
