Hole Saws
Pilot
Drill Bit
These standard saws have high-speed steel teeth to make circular cuts in wood, plastic, and metal. Often used to remove more material than drill bits, they help with tasks such as creating cutouts for doorknobs or cables. Attach them to a drill or drill press. An arbor with pilot drill (sold separately) is required.
Unthreaded hole saws attach and detach from compatible arbors more quickly than threaded hole saws. Use a simple push-and-turn motion to attach and detach the saw, instead of having to thread it on and off.
Saws with a steel body are also known as bimetal blades.
Saws with variable-set teeth make faster cuts with less vibration than saws with constant-set teeth.

Long-Life Hole Saws
Pilot
Drill Bit
With carbide teeth—the hardest in our hole saw offering—these hole saws cut through harder materials and stay sharp for up to twice as long as saws with high-speed steel teeth. All require an arbor (sold separately). Use them in drills and drill presses to create perfectly round holes, such as enclosure cut-outs for cable to pass through.
Unthreaded hole saws attach and detach from compatible arbors more quickly than threaded hole saws. Use a simple push-and-turn motion to attach and detach the saw, instead of having to thread it on and off.
Quick-change arbors include universal thread adapter nuts to connect to hole saws with 1/2"-20 or 5/8"-18 threads.

Fast-Cut Hole Saws
with
Pilot Drill
with
Pilot Drill
Specially designed teeth cut faster than the teeth on standard hole saws. Teeth are high-speed steel for cutting wood, plastic, and metal such as aluminum, brass, steel, and stainless steel. Attach saws to a drill or drill press. An arbor with pilot drill (sold separately) is required.
Hole Saws with Built-In Arbor
Quickly connect these saws to your drill or drill press with the built-in arbor. Saws have high-speed steel teeth for cutting wood, plastic, and metal. A 1/4" diameter pilot drill is included.

Hole Saws for Hard Metal
The carbide teeth on these steel saws cut hard metal such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and titanium. They can be sharpened, so they last longer than saws with carbide-tipped steel teeth. Use them on a drill or drill press. An arbor and pilot drill (sold separately) are required.
Long-Life Hole Saws for Ceramics and Masonry

Pilot Drill
The diamond-grit edge on these hole saws cuts more accurately, leaves a smoother finish, and lasts up to twice as long as carbide-grit-coated teeth. Saws are for use on reinforced plastic, Kevlar, stone, brick, and other abrasive materials with high silicon content. Attach them to a drill or drill press. An arbor with pilot drill (sold separately) is required. To cut ceramic tile, you must use a 1/4" carbide-tipped pilot drill.

Pilot Drill
These saws have carbide-grit-coated teeth that cut ceramic tile, fiberglass, masonry, plastic, and composites. Attach them to a drill or drill press. An arbor with pilot drill (sold separately) is required.
Long-Life Fast-Cut Hole Saws for Wood and Plastic
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.

Hole Saws for Sheet Metal
Lower cutting depths than standard hole saws make these saws less likely to rip or tear while making smooth, burr-free cuts in sheets. Heat-treated high-speed steel teeth cut through aluminum, brass, bronze, and steel. Use these saws on a drill or drill press. An arbor (sold separately) is required.
Arbors with pilot drill guide your cut.
Heavy Duty Hole Saws for Stainless Steel Sheets
An extra-thick steel body with carbide teeth can cut through stainless steel structural framing and electrical enclosures. The built-in arbor makes these saws easy to attach to a drill or drill press. They come with a pilot drill that has a spring to push out the slug.
