FAQ's: Holesaw Drills

Hole saw, annular cutter, step drill bit, or fly cutter depending on size and material.

Slower speeds for harder materials, higher for soft materials—always avoid overheating.

Standard drill mode, adjust torque for material—lower torque for delicate surfaces, higher for tougher materials.

Annular cutters, step bits, fly cutters, or jigsaws depending on the material.

For thick metal, an annular cutter or step drill bit often gives faster, cleaner results.

Cutting precise, large-diameter holes in metal efficiently by removing only the material at the perimeter.

A corded drill or high-torque cordless drill is best for power and stability.

Use the standard drill mode (no hammer), moderate torque setting, and appropriate speed for the material.

Limited depth, slower on very thick materials, and requires a pilot bit for accuracy.

Only for certain materials and bits. For hole saws, use a regular drill for better control and cleaner cuts.
