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

Very sturdy and durable. What youre cutting will get stuck but there are holes to push product out.

I used this on a laminated veneer shiplap ceiling where I was making the cuts where the boards butted up to each other. The boards were about 5/8” thick. No issues. You eat a lot of dust but the cuts were perfect and smooth. The 6-3/8” hole was perfect for Torch Light ultra thin recessed lights.

If you want to cut a hole for a 4” exhaust pipe, then you’ll be wanting a hole slightly bigger than 4”. This will cut that hole, probably. On my house it cut through cement fiber board (Hardie Board) and wood sheathing. You’ll need something different If you’re going through concrete (perhaps obviously). I was pleased with the weight and apparent hardness of the blade. I only had to cut a single vent hole, so I can not speak to long term durability. Here’s a tip if you’re putting in a vent and you’ve not done something like this before: drill a small pilot hole where you want the big hole to be. In my case, I went into the attic and drilled a small hole through the wall where I wanted to vent out. This way I could be sure to cut the hole where I wanted and be confident I wasn’t going to hit a stud, wiring, or some other sort of surprise. Then, make the big cut from the outside so that you get a nice clean edge in your siding. Good luck!

I purchased this for cutting speaker holes in fiberglass (boat) I didnt want to spend $50 at one of the big box stores. The hole saw is good quality (better than expected) I would not hesitate to order another one.

Worked great for 5” Halo Old Work Can lights.

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.

We got this to help us make corn hole boards. Makes quick work of it! Just attached to a typical cordless drill and went for it. Worked for us!

Works well for cutting 5” discs out of 1/4” plywood. The instructions say to run it at 100 RPM but my drill press’s slowest speed is 680 RPM. I cut 16 discs so far with this bit and it did great and still cuts like a new bit. For the price this bit paid for itself already in just the time it’s saved me. Would definitely recommend for lighter duty cutting/drilling jobs.

Used this for outside high hats and inside high hats. Works perfectly. Great buy.

Works well, very sharp.
