    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.

    Unthreaded Arbor Hole—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.

    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.

    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.
