Hole Saws & Vent Cutting Jigs
Hole Saws & Vent Cutting Jigs
Every roof penetration — a plumbing vent, a sun tunnel, a new attic fan — starts with a hole that has to be the right size, in the right place, cut cleanly through decking and covering. Hole saws sized to each fitting and jigs that hold the layout steady are how that opening gets cut once, correctly, instead of enlarged or patched around later.
Where This Matters
- Pipe Boot & Vent Collar Replacement — an aging boot often means recutting or resizing the opening it seals around.
- Ridge, Soffit & Gable Vents — ventilation upgrades depend on openings cut to the vent manufacturer's dimensions.
- Sun Tunnels & Solar Tubes — a round, precisely placed hole is what lets the tube seal tight against the roofing above and the ceiling below.
- Powered & Solar Attic Fans — the fan housing only flashes properly if the deck opening matches its base exactly.
Getting the Layout Right
- Chalk Lines, Levels & Laser Distance Meters — used to mark centerlines before any cutting starts.
- Framing Squares & Layout Tools — keep the cut square to the roof plane, not just to the fitting.
- Caulking Guns & Heat Guns — finish the seal once the opening and flashing are set.
