Has anyone used a holesaw like this one??

Ive been cleaning out the cabinets in my shop and happened on this weird holesaw. They are 6 1/4 accross and 1 1/4 deep.Never saw a curved one and would like to see a holder for it if anyone has one or knows how to use it. Another mystery to solve.Thanks

 

The invisible kind? Nope.

Post some pix....

 

6-1/4" hole saw ?
Bet its for can light holes in drop ceilings

 

Oh boy,midnights this week is making me wacky.Heres two pics

 

Try it on your weedwacker?

 

Bet it could do some damage on them 3" diameter trees....

 

That can't be a hole saw, unless the material is very thin because there is no room for the cut "plug".


Could it be a specialized saw blade?

 

that is NOT a hole saw, per se. Certainly appears to be a saw blade, but I cannot imagine the machine that it fits. I'd guess it's for cutting a specific arc, so it may be a dedicated blade for a particular chore/step

 

Looks to me like an antique bowling ball saw. Back in the early 1900's bowling balls we're cut from a solid cube of oak and then sander smooth and then varnished before the finger holes were drilled.

Or maybe not.

You should run for office, with that "verbal ability"..

 

I think that thing would make one gigantic bowling ball. But getting a strike would be MUCH easier.

 

Looks more like a dimmer switch plate from a shoebox

 

Used for cutting circles in wood. Not holes but circles.

Bologna ... Oscar Meyer used them to make round slices of bologna out of flatstock meatparts material.

 

lmao

 

What else do you have in your cabinets that you don`t know about.

 

i think it's for flush t******* something thats easy to cut (non ridgid) and the "cup shape" is just so the arbor mount can clear whatevers being cut.

 

Thats a concave blade. It's for making large pizza's small when the order is screwed up. Thats why my Gambino's didn't have an outer crust on it the other nite.

 

These blades came in a box that was part of a clean out I did in an elderly ladies ba*****t.I ended up having to take everything to get a good deal.Most stuff was packed away and forgoten about till now.I use so many tools fromthat buy all the time .BUT... I dont want to be guy that croaks and leaves his wife with tons of **** to sort through.I enjoyed the replies,always something to learn. Would be great to use it to cut the holes in the inner skin for my decklid if I could figure out a holder of sorts.Thanks

 

Notice the teeth on this thing.
They are made for cutting counter clock wise.

 

Great thread! I always wondered if Ryan would Ok a "What Is It?" thread to help ID non automotive things like this. With 600,000+ HAMB members with a wide field of knowledge it would be an interesting and helpful thread. Once you know what an odd item is it is a lot easier to sell and turn into project funds.

I wonder if it's for cutting plasterboard (drywall)?

 

Sorry to those who have sent me Pms of protest.Simply asking about a tool that MIGHT be used to make something including for a car.Wow

 

Looks like you could cut tree roots out of a drain pipe with that

 

I thought it was a reasonable request.... Might well have been some rare special tool for all you knew - may be for clutch facing, facing off tyres or brake lining t*******. You've got to wonder about people who send a PM protest about something like this

 

Same here, most people didn't know what the tool was for before a HAMBer ID'd it. Maybe it is a door panel speaker hole cut out tool? Bob ..... Merry Christmas!

 

600,000+ members?
Probably the only well maybe easiest place to get an answer is here.

 

LMAO...."Flatstock Meat Parts".......

 

It looks simulare to a strickler blade, but is not SS. A strickler is used in packing plants to clean the corn and other stuff out of cows small intestine and open up the intestine to lay flat. then sent to sausage and hotdog makers. I used to have to change those blades about 5:00 am before production started. Rod

 

People protested? Pathetic, i personally want to see what else is packed away. The oak bowling ball cutter thory alone will brighten my day.
Post'em up!
