FAQ
What materials can bi-metal hole saws cut through?
Bi-metal hole saws cut through wood, plywood, MDF, particleboard, drywall, plastic, and thin sheet metal. The LD-211 set is primarily designed for wood and drywall applications but can also handle light-gauge metal. For heavy metal cutting, specialized metal-cutting hole saws are recommended.
How do I prevent splintering on the back side of the wood?
To reduce tear-out on the exit side, place a scrap piece of wood behind the workpiece. Drill slowly as you approach breakthrough to minimize chipping. For very clean results, clamp backing board firmly to prevent vibration.
What drill speed should I use with hole saws?
Use low to medium drill speed for wood (500-1500 RPM depending on diameter). Larger diameter saws require slower speeds. Apply steady moderate pressure and let the saw teeth do the work. Back out periodically to clear sawdust and prevent overheating.
How do I change the saw on the arbor?
Loosen the set screw on the arbor with the included hex key, slide the old saw off, and slide the new saw onto the arbor. Align the drive pins with the holes in the saw back and tighten the set screw. Make sure the pilot drill extends slightly beyond the saw teeth.
