Where to find a cheap 140mm (5.5") hole saw?

Thread Starter 
Anyone know of a place to get a 140mm hole saw for cheap? I need to cut one hole into my case and don't really feel like spending 35 dollars on a tool that I will only use once :-\. Are there any options other than bucking up and buying one for 30-35 bucks? I am in the SLC, Utah area if that matters or helps at all.

Do they have tool rental places that would rent me a hole saw for cheap?

$15, with everything you need.

I don't know about the SLC area (though I assume there would be a Harbor Freight somewhere), but if you're willing to drive up to Logan I know there's one there. My Father-In-Law was thrilled when they opened one there.

We have Harbor Freights all over out here but unfortunately that kit has a 4'' and a 5''. I need either 4.5'' for 120 or 5.5'' for 140 (140 MUCH preferred!).

I looked through all their kits and none seem to have the size us case modders use most!

Check out eBay they seem to have most size holesaws but be aware that a 140mm fan will not need a 140mm hole more like 135mm.

There is nothing negative about going w/ a 140mm hole though ya?

I'll be using Thermalright's 140mm fan that comes with their Silver Arrow HSF I believe.

I can't say about 140mm as I have never cut one but when I cut 120mm holes it is too close to the mounting holes 116mm is perfect for 120mm fans.

BUMP!

I am looking for one as well, that is why I stumbled here.

Need one for 140mm, same about 5.5inch, but yeah about 132-5mm is better.

I want to cut it onto the plexiglass window.

If you already own a dremel you can buy a dremel circle cutter,

I use it for holes in acrylic and it works well.
