hey, I just need a drill which has a large diametre drill bit and possibly a midar saw to use once for 10 minutes and return.

I need to cut a large hole is a custom case i am creating. It is made of wood but I dont have any power tools.

I really dont want to spend 100-200 dollars buying tools I will only use once. Anyone here think they can help me?

What's the diameter of the hole you need to drill?

What's your location?

If you have the tools I can pay u for your time. maybe 30 bucks?

I don't have a miter saw and you won't be able to make a hole as big as what you need with the drill I have, sorry.

However, like I said, I don't have a miter saw, so the few times I wish I would have had one I simply went to a small shop near home where they do some wood work. I asked the ajjoshi to cut the pieces of wood for me and he always did them for free, except once, but that time it was more than simply cut a few pieces of wood and anyway he only charged me something like 3,000 won.

All that to say that you could probably go to a small shop and ask them to cut and drill everything for you, and that would probably cost you a lot less than $30. Hopefully you can find one in your neighborhood, if not , then ask around you, someone will surely be able to tell you where to find one.

I have a Black & Decker drill for sale. I used it three times and bought it new for 50,000 won. I'll sell it for 25,000 won or $15 US and then you can rent it out.

A lot of tool shops rent tools for a reasonable price if you just ask.

the problem is that the entire caibinet is built and stands 8 feet high so bringing it to a store to get them to cut the hole is impossible.

I will need to get the hole cut at my apartment.

And the guy with the black and decker drill, I'll buy it off of you, sounds good man.

I will pm you.

Thanks for the replies tho everyone
