Hole saw question

[Hotrodb]

I’m getting to the point of needing to perchase Hole Saws for metal and fiberglass. What brands and bit types did you buy. Thank you for your help

I must have about 50 of them and the majority are Lennox.

I'll second that thought - Lennox

Edit: I also have a complete set of electricians hole punches that I use for precision holes . . .

Lennox is always reliable. The quality is awesome.

The majority of mine are also Lennox, I do have some Milwaukee Hole Dozer too.
No problems with either of them.

Lenox with a twist.

1. I replaced the drill bit with a piece of solid steel rod.
2. Then I drill my pilot hole with the same size bit as the solid steel rod.
3. Once the pilot hole is drilled I go at it with the hole saw.
4. The solid rod keeps the hole saw from wanting to walk around.

Hope this helps and if it doesn't, then that's okay too.

Thank you all that answered my question. Have a happy new year

That's a very good idea. Sometimes I find that the center hole has enlarged a little (since side forces on the drill bit allow it to cut into the material a little) allowing the hole cutter to wander a little oversizing the hole. Your idea prevents that. I'll have to try it..............thank you!
