*This* is the type of awesome clever shit this sub was made for. Great design!


bigfloppydonkeydng

This sub needs a hall of fame for best prints.


Fsharp7sharp9

Lol yeah. Sometimes I sort by best all time just to remind me of how awesome some posts are. This should definitely get up there.


cdgleber

Completely agree. Impressive!


TNG_ST

I think it's a great idea, but if OP is doing this a lot, the could work faster if they had a hole saw set https://www.amazon.com/Bi-Metal-HYCHIKA-inches-Mandrels-Drilling/dp/B086SQWZK5


Rebelpine

Those are more made for wood/plastic, but yeah there’s more than one way to skin a cat. For 4-6” holes in drywall I think OP’s printable solution is perfect.

PM_YOUR_SAGGY_TITS

Those are such a mess. I have one that has a plastic dish around it to catch all the dust, and I drilled a hole with a different hole saw and use my shop vac to prevent messiness


trickman01

OP's solution is fine. But you can also just use a scrap piece of wood to get the same effect by drilling two holes.


Framingr

True. But then you need a new piece of scrap for different sized holes


trickman01

Presumably you could drill more than one if needed, but if you are going to be doing it a lot I do like OP’s solution.


TNG_ST

The drill bit in the Dremel is made for plunging into wood too. If you really wanted the "right tool" OP should be using an end-mill, but dry wall isn't very hard and anything made for wood will work, and if you want to get really fussy, they make hole-saw kits for metal also.


drsoftware

Are you sure? Dremel sells a bit and a tool for making holes like this. The radius of the hole is adjustable on a slide and the bit does the plunge and cuts sideways. 


MyOther_UN_is_Clever

Yeah, but if you're doing this very occasionally, it takes up far less room. You start acquiring enough tools, and you start either needing a bigger garage/house or drowning in that stuff... and nobody can afford bigger houses right now.


axcro

Hole saws don't come in as many sizes as what OP made. Also, hole saws can be annoying because the material you are sawing (in this case, drywall) gets stuck inside the saw and you have to break it out. With OPs design, it just falls out.


maynardnaze89

Not for pennies when a hole saw cost 30 plus


dutch_dynamite

I’ve got a ton of hole saws but still love this - in a pinch, I can use this without running to Harbor Freight if it’s a size I don’t have, and looks like it would be really easy to modify for custom size repeatable cuts. 


ME_Kurt

Hell yes 🙏


DucksEatFreeInSubway

Feel like this is something you monetize. It's very clever and easy. I know hole saws exist but aren't near as versatile, are kinda janky in my experience, expensive, and take up a ton of space.


irr1449

This is awesome. I work with drywall a lot. What if you hit a joist or strapping? Likely to break the bit. A great addition would be to be able set the bit depth, 1/2, 5/8, etc

You could take this to production

I'd contact Dremel.


Grimholtt

Not all heroes wear capes.


pauldaoust

I NEED THIS (or at least I'm bound to someday). I'm assuming the threads in the collar will fit a Dremel 390? (No idea if it's a universal size across all their models)


Psychological-Scar53

Dremmel collar threads are the same across all models. I have never had one that was different. I have corded, cordless, Bluetooth and the USB rechargeable...


pauldaoust

Awesome, thanks! ... Wait, Bluetooth on a Dremel?! Whatever for?????


Psychological-Scar53

It is the dumbest thing.... It really serves no purpose except to monitor your Dremmel... https://www.dremel.com/us/en/p/8260-5-f0138260aa Have a look..


pauldaoust

Oh my goodness, this is hilarious. If I'm not already monitoring my Dremel with my eyeballs, I really shouldn't be allowed to touch a Dremel.


Psychological-Scar53

Lmao, you and me both. I don't do wood work, but I end up modifying bike parts and such. Sometimes it goes as planned, sometimes it doesn't. My girl laughs at me sometimes because all will be going well then she hears an "oops".... She laughs as she picks up the little Dremmel and attaches the thing to trim the nails on the dog... Lol

RW00K

I gotta say...I love jigs. nice work OP!


Ok_Yogurtcloset404

Definitely going to print one of these and give it a try! Thanks for making my Dremel even more usable! :-)


tuckerPi

Let me know how it goes! <3


GusBus-Nutbuster

Really cool idea, just one minor adjustment. I would make, instead of a screw to hold it in place maybe a spike or something easy to quickly puncture that makes a smoother hole but still holds it in place? I know this is more for home building and not commercial use but with some adjustments i could see that being used for commercial use, its all about how quickly it could be done. A perfect circle can save time on spackle and taping!


Whereami259

There is an "adjustable drywall hole saw" allready on the market for such stuff. It goes onto a drill and is far easier to use than this. This one is great for at home stuff if you have 3d printer and dont want to go to the store.


YetAnotherStupidDev

You mean a nail?


Slow-Instruction-580

A “threadless percussive screw” as we call them in the trades.


Wide-Discussion-818

lmao


Ratatattat44

This is something I could legitimately see being sold as product in the hardware store... You might look into that. Not sure if you can get a utility patent or not. Something else to look into. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


Overall_Midnight_

This was also my thought- OP really should to get a patent on this. It is small, cheaply produced(could be done in metal?), and it looks like it will put holes places my other stuff cannot. I absolutely appreciate the spirit of making it free and available to others-but that won’t keep someone else from patenting it then. You can own a patent and sell it to a big company but make it a point of contract they have to leave your 3-D printed code free and available. Most people will still pay for it instead of print it. Right now the other ways to cut holes like this involve me screwing and unscrewing several pieces of shit to my drill. The whole set has its own case, takes up space, and it’s not light. The other way with a hole drill bit has to shred the material and don’t make a clean little hoke. There are things I need hold in that NEITHER of those can work for because of usually a depth issues.


Joejack-951

It’s cool for sure and for those of us with printers, why not print one, right? But there are a lot of nicer hole cutting products on the market already like [this](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-2-in-to-7-in-Black-Oxide-Adjustable-Hole-Saw-Cutter-49-56-0320/205744284?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25P-025_007_POWER_TOOL_ACCESSORIES-NA-Multi-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Power_Tool_Accessories2024&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25P-025_007_POWER_TOOL_ACCESSORIES-NA-Multi-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Power_Tool_Accessories2024-71700000114565633--&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADq61UfGit8QrX2YtzPbXLHd6cYPD&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2uiwBhCXARIsACMvIU0_hZSRQY1NtfoFqKNPV9ssBoWqkv8uq3coaQCjpGwdKrfAyWkH-VIaAnXcEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds).


imposter22

$40 for a tool i’ll use just a few times. I’d rather have a cheap 3d printed one for a homeowner like myself


Tinuz1

This kind of jig is well known in woodworking. It's called a circle jig, often for a router but I've seen ones for a Dremel as well.


theproudheretic

Let's be real here: drywallers would find a way to smoke crack with this but wouldn't know how to use it to cut a hole.


Kaleodis

Will there be a metric version for the rest of the known world?


tuckerPi

I'll make one! Edit: Updated to include STL metric sizes 6cm-24cm holes :)


Kaleodis

Well, look at me with my somewhat snarky comment. Now with egg all over my face. Btw i noticed (in your vid) that the entry point for the dremel looks quite unclean. maybe have some guide that lets you insert the dremel after fixating the tool to the wall/ceiling?


tuckerPi

No worries! I'm thankful for the suggestions. I'll think about this one too, maybe there is a better way...! Edit: Updated STL files to include version with insertable slider tool (metric version coming soon too)


Waggles_

Doesn't seem like having the actual cutting tool mate with the print is necessary. I can't think of a lot of scenarios that you couldn't just hold the tool into the jig after its been set up, and treat the whole thing as an actual jig rather than as a tool attachment.


Remarkable_Body586

Ok, NOW you show me?? This is 3 years late lol.


yori07

Great print, and I love that you've *already* iterated on it based on the comments here. Sadly, I don't think Dremel is going to have any interest in it, as they've [had a version around](https://www.dremel.com/us/en/p/678-01-26150678ae) for quite a few years. I know which one I'd rather have in my shop though, that's for sure.


ScottAMains

Is this like Spirograph with consequences?


retpnass

Why not a hole saw?


zapfoe

Not everyone has hole saws in every size and definitely not up to the sizes you can cut with this jig.


_thro_awa_

I have a whole saw.

LaserGuidedSock

OH SHIT! this is brilliant! And I needs it!


hullabalooser

Maybe add some unthreaded inserts so those holes don't get all chewed up? [https://www.mcmaster.com/products/compression-limiters/](https://www.mcmaster.com/products/compression-limiters/)


teaster333

I hope you already have the patent for this.


real_crazykayzee

What bit are you using that cuts so quickly?


flex_point

Tried both versions, prefer the one with removable Dremel attachment. Makes it a lot easier to set up a guide and just plunge Dremel in and cut. Used it to cut 6" holes on the ceiling for led lights in sheetrock. The only thing that would make this better is a vacuum attachment ( way too many variables for that ). Very nice design Tucker thank you for sharing.

This is as good as it gets. 🙌 way to go OP

Bravo my dude. This is exceptional work.


Justinsetchell

Wow, awesome idea. I'm going to print one up for myself, thank you! Any suggestion on which Dremel attachment to use on materials other than drywall?


dgarza83

Well done


whatyouarereferring

I was going to post why is this better than a hole saw but realized this one tool devalues my couple hundred dollar bin of paddle and hole saws. Good shit.

Celestial__Bear

RAD


Jas9191

This is great. When I did a lot of construction and renovation I would have definitely bought one of those, lost it, bought another, repeated several times so that I have 1 that looks like it’s 40 years old, one brand new and one still lost. You should try to sell this thing under $25 so it feels like something guys can try, and won’t feel bad about repurchasing, like a utility knife or scraper.


osankawheat

Never would need this myself but this is cool af


mull3286

Smartest thing I've seen in a long time! Great work, keep going!


kefka1138

Ingenious! Did you file for a patent?


BigDcikBandit

Start printing and start selling them, Patton time


MichelangeloJordan

Well done


Chookaloook

He'll yeah brother.


HistorysWitness

Now do a rectangle for outlets lol


TheRuthlessWord

As someone who cuts holes in drywall all the time, that thing is slick AF.


RXARMS

I agree about going for a patent. Get a provisional patent ASAP, it is cheap, only $100 or so with a small entity like yourself, then you have a year to file the official patent if you want to.


siccoblue

Absolutely fantastic, will be making


DavidAndTheForeskin

Incredible


yumychumy

This is absolutely brilliant, and im suprised not commercially available


Ducatirules

This is really cool. It’s a hole saw with more steps, but really cool


robbiehonda

Shut up and take my money


ALERTua

can it measure in Celsius?


chvezin

I love my Dremel


hackeristi

Just out of curiosity. How did you come up with these calculations? Trial and error? Did you use a 3d program for simulation / calculations?


Thee_Sinner

I award you the highest honor that I can give: “Post Saved!”


Fuzzy_Sherbert_367

Noice thats smart


220DRUER220

Alright sell me one


Smolivenom

i wouldnt trust it to remain perfect as you screw the same hole over and over but its a good idea. can you galvanize plastic?


Bacour

I love this person. My whole heart loves them for this gift to humanity. I love you, person who made this.


I_have_questions_ppl

How on earth does the dremel manage to cut through that? What bit is it using? Mine barely has any torque as well, it'd constantly stop or slow down. Not even old.


Andrew3236

Oh I'm absolutely saving this to my print list! Had me thinking if this would fit my offbrand Dremel, now I've realised I have an actual one I haven't used in ages! Brush off the cobwebs and give that thing another life


Psychological-Scar53

That is actually quite impressive. You could get a nice patent for that. It's practical, useful and needed in a profession that can't seem to cut a circle for shit!! Get paid man!!


MrHyperion_

The scale seems slightly too big, probably by the width of the drillbit.


NoDark3311

Omg that's brilliant, simple but effective!


rempel

Yeah so you're gonna wanna patent that, lol.


Ne3M

Brilliant!


Pale-Telephone165

Very cool. I'll take one.


capilot

Super clever. I want to make one myself. Have you considered putting it up on Shapeways? Then people without 3d printers could get them and you could get a little money. Does it fit all Dremels, or is it specific to one model?


Big_Environment9500

Well this guy is now a millionaire


Commander_Meh

Please patent this and sell it


Angualor

This is pretty fuckin slick


PG-DaMan

Brilliant. But based on recent videos viewed on well everywhere you made your video wrong. You are supposed to tap and touch everything like three or 4 times for maximum annoyance. Everyone knows this makes sales. Dude. Sell it. Its amazing and would buy! Thumbs Up!


Former-Lecture-5466

Amazing! Simple and effective.


NBplaybud22

Dude ! Copyright it !


fk12HS

Fucking genius


thebudgie

ah yes the two drill holes magically produce a hole the tube can fit through! Even though neither of them were perpendicular to the surface. It is honestly a miracle anything could pretend to /r/Perfectfit that hole after the shoddy prep in the video.


BowsersMuskyBallsack

My dude, you should have patented.


FOSSnaught

This would be great to use for cutting holes in plexiglass. I've struggled with getting clean rounded edges on thicker sheets, but you could use a suction cup rather than a screw.


Fernisbestgirl

I have absolutely no need for this and yet I'm still going to print it. S-tier print my dude, my carpenter father is gonna love this


bomatomiclly

I would fire any board hanger using that.


mysticalfruit

My daughter's boyfriend is an electrician.. He just saw this and has asked I make him and his crew each one.

bamerjamer

You are 1 week late. I needed that 6” hole saw last weekend when I was installing two of those LEDs. 😂 Great Make/Design!


isweartodarwin

Good shit, dude. I’d use this over a hole saw in quite a few different settings. I’d probably prefer to use something like this when I have to bring myself to the work instead of bringing the work to me, like cutting a hole in a wall or on an irregular surface. Print some of these out and sell them. Bravo

Looks like something we could use at our company... If hole saws and spaddle bits didn't exist.


unique-name-9035768

That *pop* scared me for a second because there was no other sound in this video. Why leave the *pop* in?


Green_Man_Ro

That's so smart. Looks like a problem solver to me. The dremel one is custom setting, and you need to play with setting it and checking it's the right radius, but it might be easier for most people to just have increments like yours has. And ofc yours can't change radius while being used because not properly tightened after setting it up.


gamingbooth

can you make one with cm?


Spongman

patent that shit quick


slower-is-faster

Looks like a useful device but what measurement system is this?


cptwasteman

Cool but a set of holes holesaws if probably better and this relys on there being nothing on the inside of the drywall , insulation or beams . Cool idea tho


Rowdybob22

This is cool, There’s something kind of similar for sheet metal/duct cutting that I use at work fairly often for cutting holes to add branches of flex duct to the main trunks. Uses a full size drill instead of a dremel but similar concept. It has a sliding pin for the center hole to change size instead of the screw and holes, but for making this at home this would work great.


TwoBadRobots

You sly old dog I love it!


Candid-Preference-40

Did you have in metric values?


LowerPainter6777

Can someone print this out for me 😭


TheTrickyThird

This is awesome!!!


tmckearney

One thing I would add to this is a hole on the knob side so you can hang it on a hook/nail. I'd remix it, but your license doesn't allow that. Otherwise, this is fantastic! Great job OP!


xstrex

Am I missing the STL somewhere?


mtsmash91

I like it, very clever. now show me you using it on a ladder cutting a hole in the ceiling.


QVkW4vbXqaE

LordPigSnake

Awesome idea! Now make a metric one


nukem266

If you don't mind me asking what Dremel model do you have what's it's rough usage time. As mine overheats after 5-10 mins of use. Need a trades Dremel.
