What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the hole saw's exceptional cutting performance through tough materials like stainless steel, cast iron, and thick wood, highlighting its sharpness, speed, and heavy-duty construction. Many emphasize its durability and lasting edge, with the rapid eject feature and effective pilot bit noted as convenient design elements. However, some report inconsistent material quality, with occasional premature carbide wear or complete failure on certain materials.

Cheap junk

Would Not Recommend

Ok, material being notched: 1 3/4 D.O.M .095 thickness. For the record myself and the fabrication company I work for both prefer to use the Lenox hole saws, typically 1 hole saw last 1-2 weeks. This junk wasn't even able to make it through 1 complete notch. Don't waist your money or time on the "spyder hole saw"

nice quality, holds up well, easy bore ejection

Would Recommend

Picked up an 8 hole set. The Carbide is very nice in holding edge for boring wood and soft Al. I like that the core easy to eject on the set provided the slots and ability to remove center bit aids this. Overall a nice set especially if picked up on sale.
