I am getting ready to sheetrock my basement ceiling where I installed
several 6" IC Recessed Fixtures. Cutting holes for electrical boxes is
not
a problem for me but I've never dealt with round holes before. Do I need
to
make a jig to find the center point of each light? What about using a
rotary tool to cut the round holes after the sheetrock is hung?


Thanks in Advance,

drop a line from near the center of each light and make a mark on the floor.
Once the drywalls up drop a line to the mark you made on the floor, bingo,
roughly the center of the fixture. Use a rotozip or similar. Takes all of
about 30 seconds for each light.
