Long-Life Fast-Cut Hole Saws for Wood and Plastic


	Arbor with Pilot Drill	Quick-Change Arbor with Pilot Drill Bit	Replacement Pilot Drill Bit

Cut holes in wood and plastic five times faster than standard hole saws and with fewer blade changes. The teeth on these saws are shaped to power through not only wood, particleboard, and plastic but also drywall, plaster, and even masonry. Made of carbide, the teeth are the hardest in our hole saw offering, so they stay sharp up to twice as long as high-speed steel teeth.

To attach these saws to a drill or drill press, you'll need an arbor with a pilot drill bit (sold separately). If you're using an arbor you already have, make sure the pilot drill bit is at least 3 _5/8" long.

Quick-change arbors don’t require an L-key or screwdriver to swap out a dull pilot drill bit—just pull back on the release collar.

Replacement Blades

Cut a variety of hole sizes in ceilings, walls, floors, and other surfaces without all the mess. These hole saws have two adjustable blades that bite into drywall, plaster, plastic and wood to make larger holes than a drill bit alone. They also have a clear debris shield to catch flying chips and collect dust. The shield’s rubber seal maintains contact with the surface you’re cutting, which keeps the debris contained and prevents damage to surrounding material. Use these hole saws to make perfectly round holes to install a range of cylindrical items from cables to doorknobs to recessed lighting. Power them using a drill press or portable drill.

Vacuum Port—Hole saws with a vacuum port on the debris shield can connect to a vacuum hose to suck up debris as you cut, making cleanup even easier.
