Plant watering shields are also something I use. This bowl works really well, but it is made of soft rubber, so if you don't store it properly, it will lose its perfect shape. It was summer in Phoenix, Arizona, so I tossed it in the back of my truck and used it the next day, but it was permanently deformed. I'll order another one, but I'll take better care of it.
Make sure the shank of your hole saw is long enough to pass through the dust bowl's hole and into the drill chuck. Make sure there's enough space between the two so the bowl doesn't get stuck between them.
The center pilot bit goes in first, and you just hold the bowl back enough to line up the center pilot bit before pushing it in flush, so by the time the bowl is up against the wall, the pilot bits are already in the center and you don't have to see anything else.
It's a ten-inch circle with a diameter of ten inches. Yes, it will; I used it for my 6-year-old daughter. For can lights, I used a 3/8" hole saw, which worked perfectly!

It works flawlessly! It works flawlessly! After having recessed lights installed in our dining room's plaster ceiling, my wife and I were expecting plaster dust to fly everywhere when we had the electrician install nine new cans in our living room and hallway. br>I handed the Morris bowl to the electrician and asked him to give it a shot. I took a few ideas from a blog written by an electrician: firmly press the whole circumference against the ceiling; Hold it against the ceiling for 30 seconds to allow the dust in the bow to settle. After each hole, vacuum the bowl and wipe it down with a damp rag. br>We were ecstatic to discover that the drilled hole emitted almost no dust. In addition, I ran a retail business. To catch the really fine powder, place a vacuum near the hole. After the first hole, the electrician removed his dust mask and goggles. br>This is an excellent solution to a complicated issue. The electrician placed his own Morris bowl order, claiming that he would be able to knock out a lot of the clean-up work. He'll be able to save money on future can installations if he saves time now.
I'm an electrician who specializes in residential service. I upgrade the lighting, fans, and circuits on a regular basis, sometimes for 8 or 10 hours at a time, and I've had this bowl for YEARS. This dust catcher gives you the appearance of being a hero, a genius, and a professional all at the same time. Blu-ray was something I had never tried before. Rack vs. Mol version with tiers But I can tell you that using this bowl and my DeWalt cordless 20v drill, I've drilled over 1,000 different sized holes. For toggle bolts, I use a 9/16" paddle bit and a 6 3/8" hole saw, while for can lights, I use a 6 3/8" hole saw. I can't see through it because it's covered in fine gypsum dust, but with a longer pilot bit and pre-treatment, I can see through it. Avoiding the need to see through the bowl by poking your center marks will go a long way. Invest a few dollars more. Step up if you're cutting sloppy, imperfect holes by hand or making an evil hell of a mess all over someone's nice house.
I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner! When I first saw this item, I thought $20 for a piece of plastic was a bit excessive, so I didn't buy it. In my office, I installed six recessed lights, taped down several plastic drop cloths, and still managed to get sheet rock dust all over the place. Then, before finishing two more rooms, I bought this dust bowl and was disappointed that I hadn't done so earlier. This was a great success - After cutting the hole and turning off the drill, I discovered that leaving it in place for 30 seconds allowed the dust to settle, leaving me with almost no dust to clean up. I also discovered that slamming the bowl against the ceiling helped to draw airborne dust out of the hole.
br>br>This tool is the answer, and I'm surprised it's not readily available in every big box building supply store. It's absolutely ideal for the job. br>br> It forms a good seal against the ceiling or wall. Is sufficiently transparent to allow you to see what you're doing. Doesn't allow a lot of dust to escape from the bottom hole. There's no need to re-set or re-enter your password. As you progress through thicker materials, you'll need to adjust as your depth changes. Even if you only need to cut a few holes, this tool makes the job and cleanup so much easier that it's well worth the money.
All you have to do now is figure out how to put it to good use. I used this dust bowl to cut 15 holes in 5/8 inch drywall in an eight-foot ceiling today (and another 12 holes tomorrow). It was a huge success. It contained the dust as well as the blown fiberglass insulation. I'm using a Milwaukee Accessory 6" Dozer Hole Saw with Milwaukee 7/16" quick change large hole saw arbor, as well as a Ryobi 18 volt 1/2 in. I used a cordless drill, and it worked perfectly. I'm not sure how someone could have problems with only one or two holes cut unless it was due to operator error (just make sure there's enough play between the arbor and the bowl, or it could be a disaster). I'm almost done with the dust bowl, which looks brand new. I'd make another purchase. I strongly advise you to do so.
Overall, it's a good fit between the arbor of the hole saw and the drill chuck. The only issue I discovered was that my Dewalt drill's chuck has a hex nut at the end, which would chew up the plastic washer if left alone, so I sandwiched a metal fender washer between the chuck and the dust shroud's plastic washer to give the chuck a smooth surface to ride on while protecting the shroud. Perhaps this isn't a problem with all drill chucks. It was well worth the money.
This item performed exactly as it was supposed to. It's well-made. It was used to drill holes for 20 recessed can lights (6") that I purchased. Dust collects inside and makes it difficult to see through, so you'll need to wipe it down on a regular basis. A Makita 18 Volt LXT Cordless Drill was used to test this product. Some people complained that the red bushing was loose, but I had no such issues. If you're going to install recessed can lights and don't want drywall debris all over the place, this product is a must-have. Savings in labor for plastic protection and cleanup have already paid for it.
It did a great job of catching debris from the 4 3/8" hole saw that was used to punch holes in the ceiling for 4" recessed light cans. The milky-looking creature The clear dome isn't ideal for visibility, but it gets the job done. The drywall dust begins to obscure the view as soon as you begin sawing. The plastic dome simply collapses with minimal resistance as one drills deeper, while remaining tight against the ceiling and catching all the debris. Does a good job at a lower cost than some of the more complicated models.
