LENOX Tools Hole Saw, Bi-Metal, Speed Slot, Arbored, 1-1/8-Inch (1772483)

Lennox always made excellent hole, saws, arbors, and Pilot drillbits. You will not be sorry with this purchase, which is actually at a very reasonable price. My tip to everybody is to purchase Tap Magic, A threading and cutting lubricant. Another trick is to place a 1 1/4“ x 1/4“ hole fender washer, over the tip of the pilot bit, and. that will keep you from breaking the teeth off of the hole saw, When it goes through the metal. To drill out, the hole, with the pilot bit, and the hole saw, place some tap Magic, on the area that you are cutting. They will almost last forever.

Im just gong to copy and paste this review to all the Lenox T3 BiMetal hole saws i bought...I bought lenox really liking the performance of the band saw blades. But the biggest problem i have with these hole saws are how sloppy they are. There is just way too much runout.Is it a fair critique? Im really not sure, perhaps this is common or even not an issue when used with hand tools but i dont use them by hand, and know a quality drill will have as little run out as possible.But these are so bad you can see the runout with the naked eye.And then with any runout your prone to tooth damage. and ive knocked off teeth when mounting in rigid machines.Could this have been operator error... perhaps my speeds or feeds were too slow, but i see the run out and try to baby these things... they just disappoint.Well now i dont even use the band saw blades anymore in favor of MKMorse so im not going to be buying these hole saws anymore either.

It seems to be sn invaluable tool if you do any amount of bathroom remodels. Used to cut hole in cultured marble to access shower head arm connection. The hole was clean, edges sharp with no chip out. Helped a friend with a bathroom job, once again the hole was clean with no chip out on an acrylic enclosure. So far it's performed great!

The other reviews vouch for the quality of this saw. I'll just add that I personally was confused and concerned when reading the description of various brands of hole saws, as to whether or not they came with an arbor (the mounting shaft with pilot drill bit). This one does.I bought it to install a large-size door peep hole in a solid wood door, and it works fine for that task. I'd suggest not drilling all the way through from one side, as it may splinter the wood on the other side. Stop when the arbor bit first pokes through, then drill from that other side to complete the hole. Thankfully, I discovered this when drilling a practice hole in a 2x4, and not the lovely door.The saw I received has a small raised line, where the metal was welded into a tube shape. I was concerned that it would wobble or fly apart, but it worked fine, and it didn't significantly expand the hole size beyond the specification.

there are really too few teeth to cut smoothly through a nail without excessive vibration

I needed this for one job: to drill a new oil-fill hole in my cast aluminum valve covers. Put a quick pilot dent in the covers with a punch and let this hole saw work its magic. Just 30 seconds later, I had a clean 1-1/8" hole. I was skeptical this would actually work, but it cut through like a hot knife through butter. PLus, I got it about $2 cheaper on Amazon compared to Home Depot and Lowes.

I use it in wood and it cuts a nice clean hole

Needed to install some USB hubs in the backseat doors of my Ram 1500. Very sharp and precise. Achieved what I needed.

Works great
