5 inch HSS BI Metal Hole Saw Cutter 1-1/2 Depth with Big Arbor for Wood Metal

Arrived on schedule. Good quality, cut 4 hole in 1 /2 plywood. Came with the arbor, 2 center bits, a bonus smaller hole saw and a small tape measure. If I needed to use a hole saw every day, I buy a Lennox or Diablo. This is perfect for the few times Ill need to use it.

Worked great for 5” Halo Old Work Can lights.

Make sure you use a drill that has a second handle for support. Go slow and steady pressure to make the hole otherwise it will bind. But after cutting through a tongue n groove ceiling for 6 holes, I will still have use of this holesaw… the one flaw is that the drillbit provided has to be tightened many times throughout use. Overall this was a good buy.

Needed this to install fans in a partition wall in an electrical enclosure. I usually buy carbide toothed saws. But this worked splendidly. Cut through two plates at once multiple times. And it never overheated and remains sharp.

put in holes in ceiling for canless can lights. half the ceiling was drywall the other 3/4 inch knotty pine. after 10 holes still sharp and easy to use. I attached mine to a 1/2 inch hammer drill with a side handle for extra stabillity, no problem.

Not sure what others are doing wrong... some of the reviews complained about strength of the mandrel and such but I really put it through its paces drilling at least 7 through various layers of old siding and the sill without an issue. I really does bite hard so for the 5.5 bit Im glad I had a high torque low speed drill. Note this mandrel on the 5.5 will need a 1/2 drill chuck at least (typical 3/8 wont fit).

Its actually very hard to find a whole saw that is bigger than 7in in the market. This hole saw not only gives me the capacity of drill big hole at one shot, also generates surprisingly clean edges. I think this is probably due to the sharp teeth and high quality steel that this saw has. A strong buy!

This huge hole saw works fine in a drill press when you clamp your material down. Using this with a portable drill is another matter entirely. The blade is too coarse to cut smoothly and will catch and try to break your wrist. If you attempt it, use a drill with a clutch and go slow. I have only used it a few times so can’t comment on durability, however I would purchase it again.

Bought the 5” hole saw to use on 1/2 inch plywood, and in a 2x8 board. Was impressed by the quality, given how inexpensive it was. The arbor is good quality and came with two drill bits, plus a small hex wrench for the set screw. Was very sharp and have a very clean cut. Only needed it for a small job, so can’t speak to how long it will hold up after many uses. But would not hesitate to buy another one if I need a different size in the future.

Kit includes 2 drill bits, 1 for wood & 1 for metal. Fits a 3/8 inch chuck. The box arrived in great condition but the wood drill bit was broken in 2 pieces.
