I used this to cut through 3 inches on concrete for some conduit. I used water to try and keep it cool. I had to dig out the concrete from the saw so I could get through the concrete.

No other hole saw I have ever used makes the hole, as accurate and as smooth as I want it to be. In the picture you may note the layers/levels of the leaves. With this Carbide Grit Hole Saws smooth and accurate holes sealing and gluing is now a “Snap!” A real time-saver-money-maker.

Worked like a charm to cut holes through tile and green board to install grab bars in a shower. Be sure to use a punch to divot the tile first so the bit doesn’t slide.

Cut Through a 2″ water meter lid just fine. Took about 10 minutes. Works better with water. That was not mentioned on the package. That’s why only four stars.

Easy to assemble and use. Performed admirably given the task it was used for. We were boring multiple holes in fire brick for use in a forge. This bit did a great job. We did not utilize the pilot bit and had a hole template made of wood for guiding the hole saw, making multiple holes in each brick. Given the number of holes and bricks we only destroyed 1 of the two bits purchased.

Bought this for drilling through cement/hardie board. Works great and fast

Worked fine once I made a trip to Lowes to get an arbor for it. Too bad the description didn’t mention needing to but other parts.

This was used to “drill” a hole in 1 1/2″ thick hard stucco, backed by heavy wire mesh. It left a nice clean hole and cut much better than I had anticipated.

I used this with their 3/8 inch arbor (which you will need, this doesn’t come with one) to drill a hole through brick and cinder block for a high efficiency furnace exhaust. Worked perfectly. You’ll need a powerful drill but it does the job. Fits a 2” PVC perfectly. Used hydraulic cement to seal around it. Only used it once so your mileage may vary

I used it on a cement block wall. It cut thru the block quickly and smoothly. Good tool to add to your tool box.

just what I needed to run conduit through the stucco wall. nice clean hole.

Needed holes in a concrete block for a pipe. I used a little water as I drilled, and this quickly made two nice, clean holes. Since I have only drilled the two, I can’t speak to how long it will last, but for the price it was worth it just for the two holes (I already had access to the arbor I needed). I didn’t want to beat out a hole or use a small bit to make a circle. I have seen this done, and either option makes for an ugly, rough hole. I was installing a 3/4 PVC LB conduit body, and this 1-1/4″ hole size made a perfect fit for the fitting part of the conduit body to slide in, with just a little caulk to seal it.

i bought one for a job that im currently doing to make 1 3/8 holes so far i made over 30 hole with the same holes saw and pilot bit , on cement block no water needed. i been an electrician for over 15 years , all it takes is a little knowledge of how to use the right tools. highly recommended.

USED TO CUT A 2 1/2″ HOLE IN BRICK, USING WATER FROM A PLASTIC BOTTLE W/ A PIN HOLE IN CAP TO LUB THE CUTTING EDGE. NICE CLEAN CUT.

This bit cut through almost 8 in of gunite total between my main pool area and the spa until I hit rebar it still has some life to it but it did its job. Worth the money

Cut through bathroom tile like butter. Still looks good after two holes.
