Project Ideas
Business
Desk grommet + wireless charging installs
Offer onsite cable‑management upgrades for offices: drill 2-5/8 in pass‑throughs in laminate/MDF/solid wood desks and fit matching brush grommets or 3D‑printed rings and Qi charger pucks sized to the cutout. Clean holes, minimal tear‑out, fast plug clearing for speed.
LED puck‑light retrofit service
Install under‑cabinet and closet puck lights that need 2.5–2.75 in cutouts. The bi‑metal saw lets you work in wood, melamine, and thin metal shelving; the deeper body makes quick, uniform holes, reducing labor time and dust.
Mini game set production
Manufacture and sell tabletop bag‑toss boards and other small target games that use 2-5/8 in holes. The large slot aids rapid plug ejection for batch work; package sets with mini beanbags and custom branding for corporate gifts or Etsy.
2-5/8 in craft blanks and merch
Batch‑cut hardwood discs as blanks for magnets, ornaments, tokens, and labels. Sand, laser‑engrave/print logos, and sell wholesale to crafters or as custom swag. The improved chip removal extends tool life during production runs.
Van/RV upfit pass‑throughs and speakers
Provide installs for small speakers, vents, and 2.5 in hose/grommet pass‑throughs in vans and trailers. The bi‑metal construction handles sheet metal and plastics cleanly; offer packages for tweeter/driver mounts, cable ports, and accessory panels.
Creative
Under‑cabinet puck light retrofit
Cut clean 2-5/8 in openings in cabinet bottoms or closet shelves to flush‑mount LED puck lights that specify 2.5–2.75 in cutouts. The bi‑metal teeth handle wood, melamine, and thin aluminum light housings, while the deeper design clears 2x stock in one pass.
Mini tabletop bag‑toss game
Build a compact cornhole-style game: make 9x18 in boards and use the 2-5/8 in saw for scaled-down target holes. The continuous slot speeds plug removal so you can batch‑produce multiple identical sets for friends or parties.
Compact Bluetooth speaker
Create a small wooden speaker box using 2.5 in full‑range drivers or ports; the 2-5/8 in cutout is ideal for many small drivers and flared ports. Bi‑metal construction lets you also cut thin steel or aluminum grills and backplates.
Finger‑pulls and handholds
Drill two overlapping 2-5/8 in holes and connect them for oval pulls in toy boxes, crates, or cabinet doors. The deeper saw height lets you bore through 2x panels in one go, leaving smooth, sandable edges.
Circular mosaic wall art
Use the round plugs you eject to make a geometric art panel. Batch‑cut discs in different woods/plastics, stain or paint them, then arrange on a backing board for a striking 3D mosaic.
