I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Then I find this - which is of course the latest 'work' - post 2005 since new colours.

Yes that is what it looks like - incomer from the meter - outgoing direct to the isolation switch for the electric shower....

Still they carefully selected the big "fuse" with 45A on, so I'm sure it seemed fine!

Fortunately property is empty now and it will all be ripped out anyway.

To be fair, what it lacks as a circuit protection device, it makes up for as an isolator. Much better than the usual pull cord.

"Can you come and have a look at my fret saw? Every time i switch it on, the breaker trips. I've tried changing the fuse in the plug, but it still trips."

Oh, that's odd...

One out of three isn’t bad….

Meatloaf looked for better than that!

It's difficult to get a nice cut using a hole saw without using the pilot bit, unless you pre-cut a piece of ply to get a decent start the multi tool back box cutter is far easier imo.

Arbors are available for this very purpose, which use a holesaw for original size as a pilot.

They're great provided the hole needs to be enlarged by more that a few mms.

You can often do this with a standard arbor. Just enough thread for a second holesaw inside the first.

I'd not fret about it. and it should be a 13A fuse.

Actually, Tel, it's only 120W, which surprised me...

Sorry don’t understand your question. I was just suggesting cutting an access hole into the plasterboard.

Cut a hole in a piece of plywood, throw away the circular piece you cut out, then hold the plywood against the ceiling, and use the hole as a guide for the hole saw.

Many ways to do this two as suggested by BrianMoooore above, used both methods, never needed a special arbor to do it, most standard arbours will take two hole saws.

Now i'm confused. I've never seen an arbour that will let you attach two hole saws at the same time?

Some do, some don’t. Just depends on the length of the threaded part.
