Hole saws are drill bits that consist of a saw blade holder and a central pilot drill bit which determines the position of the hole. Often, interchangeable saw blades are locked on the holder one at a time.

If you need guidance without the pilot drill bit (e.g. when cutting around a hole that is already larger than the pilot drill bit, or if you need discs without a hole), try clamping a template cut with the same hole saw on top of your workpiece. [1]

There is significant kickback when (mis-)using this tool, take the time do it right!

Proper Use

Use a drill at relatively high speed but little pressure. Make sure to provide horizontal guidance so the saw does not "walk" around: use the pilot drill (inside), a template (outside) and/or drill press.

No hammering drill can be used to saw holes.

Besides keeping the saws intact, please take personal safety precautions and wear safety goggles!
