10-Piece Hole Saw Kit for Wood | Durable Carbon Steel Power Drill Hole Cutter with High Precision Cutting Teeth – Woodworking HCS Hole Saw Kit for Wood, PVC, Plastic, Drywall

just what I needed for a project

I was trying to drill a 1.25 hole into a plastic project box thats about 1.5mm thick. The drill bit started the hole nicely but as the hole saw started to enter into the plastic the saw became dislodged from the screws mandrel/chuck. Then the mandrel became disconnected from the hole saw and jammed in the plastic. I twisted the screw to get it out and then had to use a hammer to get the hole saw and the rest of the 1.25 round plastic out of the project box. This left a nasty edge on the outside of the hole of the project box. I tried sanding the edges but ended up mucking up the exterior of the box. I probably should of used a round metal shaving tool (I dont know what theyre called.)

Bought these since the set I had was missing a size or two. Used it to cut into some very dense plywood using my drill. It got hot enough to smoke so I had to stop and let it cool a few seconds and use a wire brush to remove the wood that got stuck on the teeth, but after a couple of bites it made it through each time. No warping or damage to teeth after drilling about a dozen holes. I also liked this one because it came with one drill bit for all the hole saws, unlike another set I returned where some of the hole saws only fit the larger drill bit which was too big for my 3/8 drill.

The set that I already owned didnt have the size that I needed, so I purchased this set. My only complaint is that where the stamp is that displays the size was so shallow on some of them that I had to get my measuring tape out to determine the size. Other than that, it worked perfectly.

I was needing to drill assorted size holes in 2 pvc piping. This set worked perfectly for that project.

Worth the money and easy to use.

I tried to use this for the first time yesterday. I cant use the smallest hole cutter. The bit/mandril that comes with the set is thick. When you put it into the smaller of the two shanks, the small hex screw wont tighten flush. Consequently, the smaller hole cutters wont fit. The non-flush screw prevents the hole cutter from fitting onto the shank. The smaller hole cutters dont fit onto the larger shank. I tried using a smaller bit from my tools, but that didnt work. This would be a great set if it had a thinner bit for the smaller cutters.

Dont count on this to cut a hole in a precise location, or to have the hole cleanly cut, as the drill bit doesnt necessarily center the round cutting blade - if you can get the round cutting blade to even seat upon that bit at all. The first hole blade I tried to use wouldnt seat because its cutout hole was off center. It is unusable. The second one I tried could be bolted on, but wouldnt turn evenly in the drill. Instead it wobbled back and forth even when it was properly tightened in a drill that could handle every other bit its ever taken. But that was sufficient for cutting the hole I needed at that moment. I dont know if any of the other hole bits will work for my purposes. This was certainly inexpensive - and if your expectations are low, it may work for you. Its definitely NOT High Precision (as advertised.) For a birdhouse hole, a bird probably wont care if its off-kilter. But if youre cutting a hole where it matters, you might want to spend a little more and go with something better.

You get what you pay for. Drill bit broke, set screw stripped, don’t plan on going through anything other than a wet paper bag with these.

I hardly ever leave reviews, but I was so disappointed in this product that I felt compelled to warn others in this case. Upon opening, the inside of the packaging was dirty and looked used. The drill bit snapped within 60 seconds of use on a pre-drilled hole and the actual hole cutters were so useless that it was actually smoking and burning the wood before it actually cut it. I ended up just going to home depot to buy a craftsman set since I needed the job done, and that one did in 30 second what it took these about 10 minutes to do. Dont even bother with this set.
