I wanted to vent a portable AC out in a windowless garage but had to cut through a stucco wall that was 3/4″ thick with wire mesh. This carbide hole saw cut through the wall with ease and took about 60 seconds. The cut was very smooth and clean. It was also the perfect size opening for the Speedi-Product 5″ round galvanized wall vent with spring return damper. This wall vent was also perfectly sized for my PAC wall vent. So if you need to cut a 5 3/8″ hole in a stucco wall – you need this hole saw.

Great for drilling plaster and drywall, bit has held up well and creates a neat cut, perfect for 7 inch round supply heat run diffusers.

Good faster

Worked wonderfully to cut drywall holes for canned lights. Much easier to control than regular hole saw.Only used on eight holes so cannot comment on longevity but seems pretty quality.

Would be better if you didn’t have to purchase the arbor separately.

This Hole Saw cut through drywall very easily. It’s well made and I think it will hold up to heavy use for quite a long time.

Smooth, fast, sharp, clean, and easy cuts into ceiling drywall. No time spent cleaning up the edge, which is easily hidden under the rim of the can light bezel.

I had purchase a different hole saw and ruin a piece of hard wood. Did some research purchase this item did an excellent job.

Cuts through plaster and drywall quickly and easily. This however left a hole that is too small for 5″ retrofit can. Seemed to be about 1/8″ too small.

Didn’t come with an arbor but I had one from an old lockset saw I had on hand. I’ve only made 4 test cuts so far but those cut fast and clean and make a perfect sized hole for my 6″ canless recessed lights. Only addition I’d like to see would be a plastic dust shield to keep my face clean.

Used it to install 12 fixtures in 1/2 drywall, no problems, smooth cut . Should have bought one years ago.

This is an amazing hole saw and will makes quick work of many materials except . . . it does not come with its own arbor, and becomes a nuisance for someone assuming it to be ready-to-use. Now, once you do attain one of these arbors, then you’ll be pleased with the performance of this hole saw. It does indeed cut very clean and relatively quick. It has a maximum depth of exactly 1 inch, so consider that before buying. Though a lot of steel is removed from this saw to account for excess weight, it is STILL quite heavy, and if using a weaker drill, it may put lots of extra strain and fry the motor. It would be nice if these were made of aluminum (or at least partially), but I assume that if someone is to buy one of these, they would already have something more powerful and able to handle such a load. The compatible arbors are 49-56-7240, 49-56-7250, 49-56-7040, 49-56-7055, 49-56-9100, 49-56-7140, or 49-56-7150. However, the last two I was not able to find online and are perhaps no longer made. Nonetheless, you still have 5 different arbors to choose from depending on chuck size, traditional or quick-lock, etc. I believe the pilot bits are all the same. I would advise you to choose the most versatile arbor that will work with as many hole saws as possible (so as to avoid this problem the second time around). They all seem to be directly interchangeable however, but I could be wrong.
