ULTRA noobie question

HOW do you cut such good circles of all sizes? I'm either a retard with a jig saw or I need a new tool. I'm going to attempt cutting two 1.653" diameter holes(tweets) and I don't know how I'm going to do it.

for a tweeter hole i would use a drimal(sp). but for regular circles i would use either a jig saw or a router

I call Chuck Norris over and he puts a perfectly sized hole in the box using only his fist.

get a hole saw in the size you need, it's like a drill bit but with a round saw blade to cut a hole. They look like this in a set:

Or this by themselves:

You can buy them at Lowes/Home depot

use a hole saw, or a unibit. for larger diameter holes, just for the record, drill a hole with a regular bit big enough for the jig saw blade to fit through, and then use your saw.

Hole saw for tweeters, always ends up round that way. For mids, you can use either a hole saw (depending on size) or I use a router or jigsaw.

a unibit a great for little stuff, if it comes down to buying a hole saw or unibit, i would go with the unibit, they are much more versitile.
