DEWALT Hole Saw Kit, Impact Ready, 5-Piece (D1800IR5)

Product Information

I have been using impact drivers to drill holes from 1/16″ up to 3/8″ for the last 10 years as a finish carpenter, before “impact ready” bits were around. As a new home owner I have a ton of work to do around the house and I am sure the new drill will come in handy. We have a selection of sizes from which you can choose, including a 115mm hole saw and a 226mm hole saw.

The removal of the core from the hole saw after a cut is also much improved by the rapid release of the hole saw from the arbor. High performance Diamond Grit Tile Drills are ideal for drilling small diameter holes in many non-metallics. Dry drilling thanks to the wax inside the hole saws, which melts and cools the working part of the diamonds during drilling.

Our Water Coolant Dispenser is small enough to fit into your pocket, but still large enough to contain sufficient water to cool a substantial number of diamond tile drill or hole saw cuts. Hole-cutting drill bits are the ideal piece of equipment for those looking to cut large, round holes into their materials.

A hole saw is a cylindrical-shaped saw blade which can be used to cut perfectly round holes of varying sizes in a diverse range of construction materials. Although I have not used such a setup, I would also agree that an impact wrench plus aux drill chuck would provide great performance and results. But when it comes to drilling really big holes for locksets or plumbing pipes, reach for a hole saw. Tungsten Carbide Tipped Stainless Steel (Sheet Metal – SM) Hole Saws are ideal for cutting high alloy and stainless steels, non-ferrous light metals and reinforced fabrics at much faster speeds than is possible with a bi-metal hole saw. Manufactured with hardened and abrasion-resistant high-speed steel teeth and a tough alloy body and cap, it is designed for use with battery-operated power tools.Aside from the issue regarding hole precision, I think that the average DIY-er should be most concerned about bit breakage, as you pointed out in the body of the post.
