    Hole Saw Kits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hole Saws. Hole Saw Kits.
    Cut perfectly round holes in a variety of diameters. With variable-set teeth, the saws make quick cuts through wood, sheet metal, and other materials with minimal vibration. Also known as bimetal hole saws, they have high-speed steel teeth and a steel body. Often used to remove more material than drill bits, these saws are helpful for jobs such as creating cutouts for doorknobs or cables. Attach them to a drill or drill press with the included arbors.
    Quick-change hole saw arbors use a simple push-and-turn motion to attach and detach the saw. This makes it easy to quickly change sizes, instead of having to screw a hole saw on and off.
    Quick-release pilot drill bits are easy to remove—just pull them out of your saw without any special tools.

    Hole Saws

    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.

    Long-Life Hole Saws

    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.

They also cut through harder sheet metal, wood, and other materials. Each kit contains saws in different diameters for cutting perfectly round holes of various sizes. Often used to remove more material than drill bits, these saws are helpful for jobs such as creating cutouts for doorknobs or cables. Attach them to a drill or drill press with the included arbors.

    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.
    Arbors with spring-loaded pilot pins push out the slug as you cut. They require a drilled pilot hole.

    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.

    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.
