Hole saw combined with annular rabbet maker
A tool that is removably attachable to a common handheld drill (or impact driver) generates a through-hole in a section of drywall and also removes some drywall-material around a circumference of the through-hole in the drywall, resulting in an annular rabbet in the section of drywall directly around the through-hole. This tool may include a hole-saw and a rabbet-making-means that are connected to each other. At least some of the rabbet-making-means radially surrounds an outermost diameter of the hole-saw. The hole-saw generates the through-hole (in the drywall). The rabbet-making-means generates the annular rabbet. A flange of a spackle frame is inlaid within the annular rabbet in the drywall such that a bottom exterior surface of the drywall is flush with at least some of a bottom exterior surface of the flange. Spackle frames are used in trimless (trim-less) pot (recessed) lighting installs, particularly in ceilings.

6 . The tool according to claim 5 , wherein when the chuck is removably attached to the arbor, the drill or the impact driver provides motive rotational force for the tool to accomplish a rotational maneuver against the section of the drywall, resulting in generation of both the annular rabbet and the through-hole in the section of the drywall.
7 . The tool according to claim 1 , wherein the outermost-cutting-means of the outermost-cylindrical-sidewall is a plurality of hole-saw-teeth.
8 . The tool according to claim 1 , wherein the interior-rabbet-making-means comprises a plurality of distinct raised fin members, wherein each fin member, selected from the plurality of distinct raised fin members, extends upwards and orthogonally away from the larger-circular-base that distally terminates in a plurality of saw-teeth.
9 . The tool according to claim 1 , wherein the interior-rabbet-making-means comprises a plurality of distinct raised fin members, wherein each fin member, selected from the plurality of distinct raised fin members, has a finite length that is non-linear.
10 . The tool according to claim 1 , wherein the interior-rabbet-making-means comprises: a set of innermost-interior-rabbet-making-means, a set of middle-interior-rabbet-making-means, and a set of outermost-interior-rabbet-making-means.
11 . The tool according to claim 10 , wherein the set of innermost-interior-rabbet-making-means are located closer to the hole-saw than to the outermost-cylindrical-sidewall.
12 . The tool according to claim 10 , wherein the set of outermost-interior-rabbet-making-means are located closer to the outermost-cylindrical-sidewall than to the hole-saw.
13 . The tool according to claim 10 , wherein the set of middle-interior-rabbet-making-means are located at least partially between the set of the innermost-interior-rabbet-making-means and the set of the outermost-interior-rabbet-making-means.
14 . The tool according to claim 1 , wherein the hole-saw is taller than the rabbet-making-means.
15 . A tool that is configured to generate a through-hole in a section of drywall and that is also configured to remove some drywall-material around a circumference of the through-hole that results in an annular rabbet in the section of drywall directly around the through-hole, wherein the tool comprises:
a hole-saw and a rabbet-making-means, wherein at least some of the rabbet-making-means radially surrounds an outermost diameter of the hole-saw; and
a plurality of guide-wheel-assemblies that are configured to facilitate rotational spinning of the tool about a common-rotational-axis of the tool, wherein each guide-wheel-assembly, selected from the plurality of guide-wheel-assemblies, is attached to a bottom of the rabbet-making-means, with a freely rotatable wheeled portion extending beyond an outermost diameter of the rabbet-making-means;
wherein the hole-saw is configured to generate the through-hole;
wherein the rabbet-making-means is configured to generate the annular rabbet.
16 . The tool according to claim 15 , wherein the freely rotatable wheeled portion prevents and blocks the rabbet-making-means from extending into the section of the drywall beyond a desired depth.
