In Response To: Rotozip for hatch cut outs? (Steve)

Steve,
The spiral cutter used on this tool leaves a kerf of between 1/8 and 5/32" which would give your hatch a total gap good for a closet door. For getting around those tight corners with the jigsaw use a fine pitch narrow blade. If you relieve the back corners of the blade with a stone or light grinding it will cut a tighter curve without binding.
Hope this helps.
Geo. C.
