Rack-A-Tiers 42710 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Rack-A-Tiers 42710 cut a 2-gang box opening?
No. It is a dedicated 1-gang cutter with a fixed 2-1/8 by 3-5/16 inch blade size, so it will only produce a single-gang opening. For a 2-gang or larger enclosure you need a cutter sized for that configuration, or you fall back to a jigsaw or drywall saw and a template.
2) Is the Rack-A-Tiers 42710 a round hole saw or a rectangular box cutter?
It is a rectangular box cutter, not a round hole saw. The Q-Bit style blade cuts the 2-1/8 by 3-5/16 inch square-cornered footprint of a single-gang enclosure. A round hole saw is the wrong tool for a device box opening; use one only for round old-work rings or can lights.
3) Can I use the 42710 cutter on finished drywall for a remodel, or is it only for new rough-in?
Both. The 42710 is used for cutting into finished walls on remodel and retrofit work as well as roughing in new construction, on drywall, plaster and similar wall surfaces.
4) Why would an electrician buy a dedicated 1-gang cutter instead of using a jigsaw?
Repeatability. Hand-scoring or jigsaw cutouts take multiple passes and often come out oversized or undersized, which leaves the device ring sitting on torn drywall. The 42710's blade is sized to the 1-gang opening at 2-1/8 by 3-5/16 inches, so every hole lands the same and the plate covers it cleanly. On a job with dozens of device boxes, that is the payoff.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for the Rack-A-Tiers 1-gang enclosure hole cutter?
Order it as Rack-A-Tiers 42710. That is the only model in this cutter, with UPC 625912427105, so there is no size or finish choice to specify.
6) Can low-voltage installers use the 42710 for data and AV plaster rings?
Yes, it is intended for electricians and low-voltage installers alike. Any single-gang device ring or enclosure that uses the standard 1-gang footprint will match the 2-1/8 by 3-5/16 inch cut.
