I have drilled 4 inches through alabaster and used the bit to make wooden wheels for a toy car. This bit cuts a lot better than high speed steel hole cutters that I have used in the past. I have had a little trouble with the bit getting loose from the separately purchased arbor as I back out the tool to clear chips. If I need another hole size, I will buy this brand again.

Excellent product. Admittedly, only used it once. But drilled through a high-quality conference room table - so no room for errors. And this product delivered perfection.

This thing cuts about 5 times faster than bi-metal hole saws!

Drilled out 50, 3" holes below roof rafters for soffit ventilation on my home, face board was 2" plus thick, Blue Boar easily
cut through the face board with no effort on my part, it seem to drive through the board on its own, I was on a ladder on the second floor, so could not exert any pressure at all.

Used this to install soffit vents cutting 96 holes in 2x lumber, even cut thru a few nails in the process and it is still brand new sharp. Most of the slugs just fall out.

Great product! We work with large size and thick-walled HDPE and PVC piping. The problem with using conventional bi-metal hole saws to make taps into the plastic pipes was it would melt the plastic and gum up the hole saw teeth and make it very difficult to remove the plastic cut-out coupon from the hole saw. You had to make the tap at a very, very low rpm to not create heat and melt the plastic which was time and money. The Blue Boar hole saws have tungsten carbide chisel teeth which cut and remove the cuttings quickly and easily without creating heat and melting the plastic. We will be ordering more for our other crews.

I have hardware cloth in my cieling, so a regular hole saw failed very quickly. This thing ripped two holes in my ceiling and did not even notice. It is a shame I do not have dozens more to do, because this tool looks ready for real work.

Best hole saw I’ve ever owned. Easily cut 100 recess cans in so far with zero damage to the teeth. About 15 holes were cut through plaster and wire mesh. 30 holes cut with lath and plaster.

'I needed a bit to put 24 holes in the hardie plank boards for recessed lights around the house. Not knowing much about good bits and bad ones, I bought this blindly. The bit worked great. 24 holes done and the paint is not even worn off. the teeth don't look worn or damaged. It went through the 1/4" hardie smoothly the holes looked great. A light sanding to smooth the edges and my lights fit beautifully. I was surprised my 18 volt drill did all the holes on one charge I carried 2 back up batteries in the attic anticipating a high drain. I learned its a two hand operation. One hand used to control the tool the other to slowly lower it down through the board. If you don't slowly lower it, it will take your wrist for a ride, if you don't use bits this size very often I suggest setting the clutch to keep the drill from catching too fast then spinning the drill around and hurting your wrist. I recommended this bit too a couple contractors whom since purchased and love there results, they used to do the draw, drill, and cut method

I used this on inch thick plywood subflooring and was able to cut quickly using a DeWalt 18v cordless drill on its medium speed setting. Tried first hole on the lowest speed setting and it was OK but would jerk a little when it hit a harder section of the plywood. At the middle speed setting it was much smoother. Even on the low speed setting it was a whole lot smoother and easier to use than even the small sizes of the Lenox One Tooth hole cutters which are plain scary to use in a hand held drill

Clean holes in seconds and the cut plug comes out in seconds. Long tooth life even in MDF, particle board, and plywood. I will never go back to using bi-metal hole saws for anything but metal
The Blue Boar hole saw is awesome. I used a battery powered drill (Makita 18 volt) as recommended and have drilled a few dozen holes in I-joists for HVAC. The board that was drilled falls out of the saw most of the time instead of having to pry it out. The hole is quickly cut.
