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

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!

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).

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.

Worked great for 5” Halo Old Work Can lights.

I like the price because it includes the two hole saw but I prefer the ones with a quick release the measure tape is super basic, but definitely it’s worthy the package, definitely not to be used on plaster I use it a couple times on plaster walls but it takes the sharpness from the saw.

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.

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.

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.

Inexpensive compared to name brands but worked perfectly for me cutting a half dozen holes through 2 layers of wood (3/4 incl solid cedar plank backed by 3/4 inch plywood sheeting) still looks knew. Needs 1/2 drill for power. As another reviewer pointed out, use an auxiliary drill handle. Hole saws can bind (did it twice) and the drill torque can seriously strain or otherwise damage your wrist. But saw cut clean holes every time
