Should have bought set to begin with, November 10, 2008

By Dr. Nick (Springfield) 

This is a well made set of hole saws. I have used them for a variety of wooden doors, piping runs inside walls, and one metal door. In all cases the saws performed well. I am not sure how well they would hold up to extended use on metal, however for my moderate useage on wood, and limited use on metal they have seemed to hold their edge quite well. I originally bought a single lenox hole saw in a large diameter and had a cheap set of small diameter saws. I picked up this set from amazon on some special and will never use the cheap ones again, even for small diameter holes. I would have saved myself significant time and furstration if I had just purchased the "good" set at the regular price rather than trying to save a few dollars by buying cheaper versions of the small diameter saws.

By Michael Winters   Great tool for skylights and large ceiling speakers!!!

On occasion we install both large in-ceiling speakers and tubular skylights. These require a hole that is anywhere from 10 to 16.5 inches in diameter to be cut into sheetrock or plaster or acoustic tile. The Hole Pro X-425 adjusts from 2" up to 17" and is great for this. The in-ceiling woofers take cutouts from 12 to 15 inches but the skylights (Solatube and Velux) take holes anywhere from 10" to nearly 17" in size and so the X-425 is perfect for both. We use it only on the interior ceiling holes but this is where the lack of mess and clean edges on the holes is most important.

With a 1/2" drill on its highest torque setting the hole cutter will cut most materials up to a 17" hole size. There is too much leverage for the drill to manage this large a hole size in wood but we have made larger holes by taking the blade off one of the blade holders so the drill does not have to work as hard. With only the weight of the blade there is still very good balance - a lot better than any of the one blade hole cutters.

With very large holes that are being cut into ceilings it is very difficult to trace the cutout circle much less cut it out and be able to catch the cut plug before it falls and hits something. With the Hole Pro X-425 the large clear shield holds all the dust AND the cutout piece of sheetrock. We save the time we used to spend moving furniture out of the way and laying out a drop cloth and then vacuuming up and putting everything back in place.

Having the adjustment knob is a neat feature as we can set it to cut through just the 5/8" sheetrock and not worry about hitting a wire. The shield makes it easy to do a perfectly straight in cut so everything sits flat. With plaster ceilings and a reciprocating saw the up and down movement can cause the layers of the plaster to separate and crack which is a very expensive repair to make with re-plastering and repainting of the ceiling in a room. The lateral movement of the Hole Pro hole cutter's blades are a much safer solution that greatly reduces the risk.

The ABS shield is very light and yet quite strong and has a soft edge gasket that prevents scratching of the work surface while sealing in the dust. The slots catch the shavings so you can see what you are doing the whole time. It is very large at 19" diameter so we only use it when needed for holes larger than 12 inches and the rest of the time we use the 12" X-305 from Hole Pro.

A friend uses this 17" hole cutter to make speaker enclosures, mostly for cars where he cuts through plywood, MDF, or fiberglass. He likes being able to use it in a hand drill and still get a straight in cut with a clean edge for mounting the 14 and 15 inch woofers he uses.

Hole Saws > Cutting 1 7/8" to 9"

One kit takes the place of dozens of hole saws while enabling fast dust free cutting exact size holes from 1-7/8" up to 9" inches in diameter. Kit includes high quality adjustable hole cutter, ball bearing mounted ABS shield with soft rubber gasket to trap dust and shavings, user replaceable sets of both High Speed Steel and Tungsten Carbide blades, hex wrenches, and sturdy carry case. Shield keeps cutter perpendicular to work surface and cutter has adjustment knob to limit the depth of cut when making holes in walls or ceilings to avoid accidentally cutting wires or pipes. All parts precision machined, measure bar is chrome plated and marked in both inches and millimeters. ABS composite plastic shield is made from the same material as used in hockey helmets and is lightweight, strong, and will not discolor with age. Perfect for installing recessed lights, tubular skylights, in-ceiling speakers, ceiling fans, duct vents, or providing access holes for repairs. Kit includes user replaceable High Speed Steel blades for cutting wood, MDF, Lexan and other plastics, acoustic tile, tongue and groove, laminates, and Tungsten Carbide blades for cutting sheetrock, plaster, cement or Hardi board, fiberglass, OSB, chipboard, plywood, and similar materials. Twin blades for faster cutting and perfect balance eliminate the need for balance bars which can break off inside other cutters. Requires ¼ the torque of common hole saws so a smaller drill can be used and cordless drills can cut more holes before needed to be recharged. ½ cord drills that are rated for maximum hole saw size of 3-1/2 inches for wood can cut holes up to 12" in diameter in plywood using the Hole Pro hole cutter. Like all Hole Pro Power Series kits the shield can be used with the Hole Pro XL-Arbor kit to enable the use of specialty hole cutters such as tungsten grit cutters when cutting tile or stone and have the same dust control and depth control as provided with the adjustable hole cutters.

Hole Saws > 15-Piece > Milwaukee

Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces Ice Hardened hole saws, a new generation of hole saws that offer up to 50% longer life than the competition and are ideal for metal and wood cutting in a wide variety of HVAC, electrical, plumbing and maintenance/repair applications. Milwaukee Ice Hardened products utilize a proprietary cryogenic hardening process that improves upon traditional heat treat processes. Unlike surface coatings that wear away, cryogenics harden to the core by minimizing soft metal (austenite) and creating more hard metal (martensite). The result is a product that is more consistently hard throughout, resulting in life up to 50% longer than the competition. Milwaukee Ice Hardened hole saws also feature Matrix II bi-metal construction for greater durability and a unique precision-ground tooth geometry for faster cutting. A positive rake angle cuts more aggressively while deeper gullets quickly remove chips. A radiused back face reduces stress on the teeth, ensuring that the blade delivers optimum life and speed. Functional slot geometry allows for a standard slotted screwdriver to fit completely underneath the plug for easier plug removal. Kit Includes: Eleven (11) hole saws: 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1-1/8", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", 1-3/4", 2", 2-1/8", 2-1/4", 2-1/2"; Two (2) arbors: 49-56-7010, 49-56-9100; Two (2) drill bits: 49-56-8010; One (1) adapter: 49-56-6560; One (1) spacer: 49-67-0120; Space for additional hole saws
