Can I use a 2 7/8" hole saw with these netpots?

2 7/8" will not be wide enough. Use a 3" hole saw. The fit will be perfect. Exact pot dimensions are 3 1/4 diameter @ top lip. 3" diameter top (not including lip). 2 3/8 bottom diameter. 2 5/8" height.

yes anything with standard chuck should work if the chuck is 3/8 some larger bits might not fit! 1/2 bits probably wont fit!

yes, you'll have to drill the current 3/8" holes out to 1/2". it took me more time to find and chuck up my bit than to drill the holes.

Yes 5/8" would be too much. Shim them and drive the screws through the shims if you have to but keep them at 1/2" clearance per side. They work Great.

Yes, the diameter of the center hole is 6 7/8". Should be fine on an 8" diameter pot.

Just make sure whatever router you decide to buy can handle the 1/2" shank on the dovetail router bit that comes with the jig. I believe most Bosch routers can handle 1/2" shanks (my own can an it's a Bosch, but I forget the model number).

The pilot holes are set for 2x4s. I guess you could adapt a2x8 they are 7 1/2". I used cedar boards and they worked great

Typically, yes. The 7 1/4 inch blades will usually not fit into the housing of the smaller saws

Probably not. Thickest we cut was 12 gauge aluminum. 1/8" thick is 8 gauge. May cut a few feet but would probably jam and burn up if you had a lot to do.

The hole diameter fits a 7/8" no problem, but with my PortaCable Joiner the kerf of the blade was slightly thinner than the portacable blade,so it wouldn't tighten down, I made a very thin washer out of a piece of steel using 2 hole saws, and it worked fine.

I think you are limited to the 1/4" collet. Then again, it is a "compact" router so you don't want to use this great tool for heavy duty routing anyway (larger bits than 1/4"; and big jobs with harder woods). Check it out here: http://www.dewalt.com/tools/woodworking-routers-dwp611pk.aspx

I have, but not with a hole saw of this type. These bits are designed to drill through material not exceeding the total depth of the drill bit. They are great on glass and ceramic tile not exceeding 1/2" thickness. You would be better served using a large hammer drill with a 2" BIT. The bit itself would have to be as long or longer as the material you're drilling through (i.e., 8" block would require a 10 or 12" bit). These drills and bits are available to rent at most rental tool facilities. The expense of purchasing would exceed $800.00.

I'm not familiar with the reciprocating saw attachment, but in general, you'd use the jigsaw for fine work. If you really want precise circular holes, buy a hole saw, and use it with the drill attachment. You can usually find individual ones to fit the size you need without buying a whole set. That's what I used to cut a hole for a 12 volt power plug in the paneling of my RV. You'll probably also find that one hole saw will be quite a bit cheaper than buying another attachment.

Yes. With a hole saw, no problem. I use it everyday as an electrician and make 2 inch holes in plastic and metal, and sometime six in holes in foam ceiling tiles. The only thing stronger would probably be the milwaukee but its twice the price.

Check to see if your saw will accommodate a 5/8 inch arbor. The blade fits on this shaft. Another way is to measure the center hole of one of your saw blades. If 5/8" it will work.

I really don't know. I just assumed they would work with my full-size Bosch and that's all I use them for. Compatible with Bosch, DEWALT, Hitachi, Makita, Milwaukee, Metabo, Porter-Cable, and Craftsman jig saws. I like a lot of Black & Decker stuff but I don't have anything of theirs to try them in.

no. and you probably wouldn't want it to, since the amps and the horsepower could not support heavy materials that require a 1/2 inch router bit. i'm guessing the motor would fri. you can however use router bits that are 1/2 inch in diameter also have a 1/4 inch collet.
