I was in Lowe’s yesterday, and they sell a hole saw that adjusts from 1-1/8” to 2-1/2 inches for around $10. Basically 3 blades 120 degrees apart and you turn a camlock to set the diameter.
Anyone know how well they work. Might be the only holesaw I have to buy if it’s any good.

I contemplated the same thing tiger Heli... but I opted to just buy a fixed size... (what other sizes do you think you'll need than 1 1/8" ?)
I was worried that it wouldn't be as sturdy/sharp/stay as sharp as a fixed width one...
I also opted for the fix width because the adjustable size ones can only "spin" in one direction... therefore it might put a crimp in my pan to cut lexan by running the drill in reverse to melt it..
But other than those concerns... I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Maybe someone else has actually used one and can give a more qualified answer.

They suck. Stay away. They break easily, and arnt perfectly alligned so mess up the hole anyway.
Get a 'real' heavy duty holesaw, and or spade bits.

Ok, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks!!!!

The SW yoke will need a 2-inch. The 2-1/4 trackball enclosure will require some size, but I don't know what as of yet.
