2 1/4 hole saw is about $15 at any hardware store


The original hole will still have to be enlarged since the new jack will pass thru that. And I find enlarging an existing hole, with a hole saw, to be a tough job tho I'm sure there are tricks I don't know.

A good 2 1/4 in bimetallic saw blade runs about $18 plus a mandrel at $15 if you don't have one. A grinding stone is probably less than $5
