Lenox Tools - 3002828L LENOX Tools Bi-Metal Speed Slot Hole Saw with T3 Technology, 1-3/4

Ive been trying several brands and have bought out the one size I need in several stores. Now we are not going through nearly as much. This is a good saw for mild steel pipe.

I burned the teeth off this size in my Lenox hole saw kit, and this is the replacement. They modified the plug removal slots on the side so its even easier to clear the plug out. (I got a diamond hole saw for stucco in the future.)

I have always had good luck with Lenox products and their hole saws in particular. However once mounted to arbor these are rarely very concentric and leave you with a rough hole that is often slightly larger than advertised aprox 1/16inch. If you want a perfect clean hole I suggest either carbide hole cutter or size yourself 1/16 smaller with these and finish with filing, grinding, sanding, ect.. Overall these are great quick way to make a hole in almost anything! Takes alot of abuse to ruin one of these even in steel. Remember to use compressed air to remove chips often a d alternate pressure bird pecking on metals.

Get it??? All the way around... HOLE SAW. Okay so its a bad joke, BUT its a great hole saw being a Lennox.

I had a cheap hole saw from a big box. It was better at burning wood after only a few cuts. This frustrated me and made me angry, as I was wasting my time, and ignoring my own best advice to get decent tools. So I ordered this with two day delivery, got it in one, and finished the job with absolute ease. I have since gotten a couple more of the Lenox hole saws in different sizes, and they have all delivered great performance. The speed slot also seems to make plug removal from the blade easier. So far so good on the durability; time will tell.

Ill leave it at that!

I use these in my tube notcher. I have used the same cutter to cut notches in schedule 40 pipe and 1 1/2 tubing and it just keeps going. No problems with broken teeth and it seems to stay sharp for a lot longer than I expected.

Works good especially for the price, drilled 8 holes in 3/16th steel and still has all the teeth with plenty of life left.

These are pretty good quality and last if taken care of..

Absolutely the best hole saw bits out there. Runs through stainless like butter, cuts mild even easier. Highly recommend.
