Note that when using diamond hole saws not only is a slow speed important but it is critical that you use water as a cooling lubricant while cutting. This not only keeps the cutting edge cool but also helps remove dust and debris from the cut. See more tips for using hole saw to cut perfect hole.

This drill bit size chart provides a list of sizes in several measurement systems, including fractional, metric, wire gauge number, and letter.

6 inch Hole Sawfor Metal

Cutting wood, aluminum, brass, mild steel, and stainless steel is not recommended with a diamond hole saw. Diamond holes saws can be used to cut fiber cement, but carbide tipped hole saws are preferred.

For example, as the hole saw diameter increases, the speed, or RPM, should decrease; and harder, denser materials need to be cut at slower speeds. By following these guidelines you will reduce heat build up and hole saw burn out.

Like all EAB Exchange-A-Blade green exchange products, our bimetal, carbide-tipped, and diamond hole saws are fully exchangeable—you buy it, you use it, and when you bring it back to the store where you bought it, you’ll get a credit towards the purchase of your next EAB hole saw. A limited number of these  hole saw products are also available in our non-exchangeable brand, Stay Sharp.

Excessive speed builds heat and heat destroys cutting tools and when we cut too fast we lose control and accuracy of our cutting operation. That’s why the information is critical to extending the life of your power tools and accessories and cutting the perfect hole—every time.

Modern hole saws offer various cutting profiles that allow us to cut a wide variety of materials. Bimetal hole saws will allow us to cut all manner of wood and metal products; diamond hole saws are suited to tile and masonry; and carbide tipped are best for high speed wood and fiber cement. However, each substrate hardness and density varies and needs to be cut at the correct speed to provide a precision cut and extended tool life.

Exchange-A-Blade hole saws are market leaders in quality and value. They can be used to cut  holes in wood, ferrous and non-ferrous metal, ceramics, marble, glass, slate, granite, and fiber cement products. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and come in a Professional and Industrial quality.

Although portable drills do not come with a speed gauge, most provide variable speeds and many even offer dual speed transmissions for a wider range of speed control. For example, if your drill is rated at 0 to 3,000 RPM and the suggested cutting speed is 1,500 RPM then simply run your drill at half speed. If you are cutting through very hard material such as steel or ceramic tile and the suggested speed is 300 RPM then simply drill very slowly. When cutting hard materials slow speeds will give you more control as well. There is nothing worse than having a diamond hole saw slide across a granite tile and destroy the surface just because we were impatient and cutting too fast.
