6-1/4 Inch Hole Saw with Heavy Duty Arbor, 1.2 Inch Cutting Depth HSS Bi-Metal Hole Drilling Cutter for Smoothly Cutting in Wood Cornhole Boards Plastic Drywall & Thin Metal

The hole saw works fine, but you better have some strength and bracing. This 8” saw will throw you around if you are not ready for it. 😁 I used it with a 3/8” drill but a large 1/2” drill would have been better. A 5/8” drill would probably be ideal. First thing I learned was to make sure the saw was completely tight on the arbor. I started with it as tight as possible, but still able to slide the arbor’s posts into the hole saw holes. This created a bit of a jump when starting the sawing, which was enough to angle the saw and break the arbor’s drill bit. This caused the drill to jump up out of control and nearly hit my leg. I, stupidly, was not in a good braced position for that surprise. I learned quickly. Fortunately, the saw came with three drill bits, so I had a replacement. I was trying to saw through the seats of six kitchen chairs to make garden plant holders for my wife. So, on my next try, I brace myself with a shoulder width stance and the chair braced against my leg. I had tighten the saw as much as possible and not worried about the posts. This was much better. I started the drilling. After a few moments of drilling I began lifting the drill up and down about a 1/8” every few seconds to keep the saw from binding in the wood. I also wobbled it a little based on which side was cutting deeper, so it wouldn’t bind up. This worked fantastic. However, after just two chairs, the drill casing on the drill I was using was getting real heated (hence, why I suggest a larger drill or, at least, a higher powered drill. Though it should be noted, the drill I was using was not my best, because I wasn’t sure it wouldn’t burn out). So, I stopped and let the drill rest. The case actually got nearly too hot to touch. After a couple hours, the drill was still a little warm, but I did another chair, then stopped for the day. The hole saw, even though it got hot as well, still seemed sharp and in good shape. The next day I drilled one chair an hour, more for the drill’s sake than the saw’s. I got through them all without any issues. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the hole saw held up. It still seems good, which is surprising considering how it was delivered. It came in a plastic shipping envelope that was falling apart because the box the saw was in came apart in shipping (I assume) and the box was printed all in Chinese. Interesting to see that and not entirely inspiring confidence in its quality. I thought they normally repackaged items in English boxing. Anyway, just interesting. Not a big fan of Chinese-made products, but when it’s all one can get and it is of quality, how can one argue. I would buy again.

I was worried about tear out from the teeth on the sheetrock. Cut clean with absolutely no issues. Used to cut hole in ceiling for a ceiling fan and several can lights. All with no issues. Outstanding product.

Had to get this to install canless lights in my ceiling. It comes. With 2 bits and the first one broke pretty quick. I hope the other one lasts longer. It does make a perfect size hole for installling the lights.

worked very well on 3/16" thick steel

For the price its perfect, cuts holes really good, fast and easy.

When I first opened the package and saw this I was impressed! I thought "This is really Heavy Duty! Just what I need!". I was WRONG! The first problem with it was not a manufacturing issue but I think I should mention that I put this on a LARGE drill press and the radius was about 3/8" too large to allow it to spin on the machine. So if you're looking to use this in a shop, think twice and be sure that the radius will be accommodated on your equipment. I ended up using this on a hand drill. It worked well for the first 2 holes I was trying to drill in a 2 x 6. But when I started the 3rd hole this thing failed badly. The center bar quickly slid 3/8" through the arbor and suddenly I was drilling two holes at once and neither was the correct diameter. I stopped, removed the drill bit to access the set screw for the arbor, re-centered the arbor and tightened the set screw down hard (and I mean VERY hard as I didn't want this thing to move out of place again). It moved within seconds of trying to drill the hole again. The cost wasn't that much and frankly I don't have the time to deal with returning the thing. While I can't recommend a different brand I would say AVOID this one.

I used this 7-1/4 Inch Hole Saw to cut holes through adjoining kitchen cabinets and then through the back of one and through the outer wall to the outside. This was for installing 7 Inch diameter duct for an over-the-range exhaust fan. Hardly looks like this bit was used afterward--very solid and durable hole saw. Beware! Using a large diameter hole saw like this can hang and twirl you around if (when) it hangs up, if you don't have a drill with torque adjustment. Drill slowly with the torque adjustment set to a lower setting.

I’m not sure what issues others had with this product. If your cutting wood or sheet rock, it’s excellent and does the job perfectly.

Needed a 6 1/4" hole saw to install LED pot lights in my living room, and this product worked perfectly.Solid metal and sharp saw edges, that cut through and inch of drywall in seconds.Please note that the the attachment bit that goes into the drill is about half an inch in diameter, and didn't fit into my regular/battery operated drill.Had to use an electric hammer drill that allowed for such a large bit to be installed.
