Right angle chuck

[Sureitsoff?]

if you have a mains drill with a 43mm collar you can get these,pricey though. I have a very old bosch version that I got at a car boot sale for a £1

just a thought, can you fit a drill chuck onto a small angle grinder or is it too fast

ps wonder if this fits a 43mm collar

Too fast by at least 10x.

My angle grinder is either on of off. Wouldn't like to use that.

silly thought, so will go away and tell myself off

Would be extremely dangerous

Safest option is one of them ocilating multi tools, but im not sure if theres a blade to make a round hole

Where is your sense of adventure?!

How could an oscillating tool create a round hole - or, indeed, any sort of hole of the sort of depth that we're talking about?

Well it goes side to side if you hold it forwards, but if you're holding the tool at 90° to the surface to be cut, it's rotating on the correct plane. If you could attach a holesaw, say, that faced downwards from the tool, it would cut a hole.

It would be an awful tool to do the job, but I think it could do it.

Well, yes, but, if I understand you correctly, I think you're really re-designing the tool - I don't think that any of them are designed to take (or provided with) 'blades' pointing in that direction, are they? AFAICS, you're really talking about a right-angled drill with a hole saw attached, with the saw 'oscillating', rather than rotating continuously in one direction, aren't you?

Kind Regards, John

If you took the mounting plate from say a plunge saw blade for an oscillating tool, and welded a holesaw onto it, you could do what Iggy is suggesting, but it'd be very slow.

 

[Echo the husky]

Not to mention loud and the vibrations are unpleasant.

 

[Iggifer]

Oh I totally wasn't saying it's a good solution! I'm just saying you could do it.

I wish someone made a square holesaw for cutting out plasterboard back boxes which would mount to a multitool in that fashion, that would be very handy indeed.

It definitely would. but I don't think there's anyway it could do it tidily enough and without just destroying the board. Better off sticking with a plungesaw I think. At least it's a step up from a padsaw

Which direction would it oscillate?
