Joe:

Read the description carefully.

"...mandrel is threaded to accept saws with 1/2" and 5/8" diameter
mounting holes."

You'll need hole saws with 2 different sized mounting holes to use the
Oops Arbor.

In other words, your "mistake size" hole saw will need a 1/2" mounting
hole while your "fixed it size" hole saw will need to be 3/8".

You'll get rid of the plywood pieces, but may have to add a bunch of
duplicate OD hole saws.

I'd stick with the plywood if it works for you.

Many times you can put two hole saws on one regular arbor and do the
same thing.

That'd be my first thought having seen that but hadn't thought of it
before. Then at least if don't have right size(s) what you get will fit
the arbor you have...

Primary difficulty I'd foresee is whether arbor is long enough to stack
the two and still have sufficient thread length.

Yep, that was posted about #12 in this thread and commented on a
