treesner Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Does anyone make a quality hole saw kit? I’ve had nothing but junk, always ratteling inner drill bits, hard to remove wood chunks and bad cuts. Wondering if there’s good ones out there when a forstner bit can’t be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 There was a thread on here not too long ago addressing this. Not to cut you short but try the search bar and if no results, come on back and we’ll hash it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don't know about a kit, but the Lenox adaptors with the two retractable pins and knurled knob to screw into the threaded hole before engaging the two pins, and the plug poppers from VSCT, were the best things ever for hole saws. I have a box full of different colored ones. The regular ones can be sharpened pretty easily with a triangular file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yes, those are the arbors I was talking about. The two retractable pins prevent the hole saw from winding itself too tightly onto the threaded part of the arbor. The small one is for hole saws too small for the pin holes. The large one is never any problem, but the small one sometimes requires the help of a pipe wrench to get the hole saw off. I don't know that there is any way around that for the small ones, but small ones are so rarely needed anyway. Any hole saw toolbox needs to have these in it: https://vsctools.com/shop/the-plug-popper/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
