Beats a Bosch Hole Saw

What a joy to have the right tool for the job!I got tired of my charcoal chimneys rotting out so I decided to make my own. I bought a piece of 6 3/4" OD x 1/4" thick x 16" pipe. I needed 42 nice clean holes & since I'm a hack with a plasma cutter and Oxy-Acetylene torch, that left drilling them. I started with a Bosch hole saw and had 2 BIG problems: one, it wore out on the 8th hole & two, the scrap piece constantly got jammed in the hole saw.So I bought this rascal & it cut like a dream! A little squirt of "Tap Magic" cutting fluid, 540 RPM, steady pressure and wallah a near instant good looking hole AND best of all the scrap piece NEVER jammed in the saw. The spring kicked it out every time for all 34 holes.If I could give it 10 stars I would, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Pros
  • Cuts like butter drilled 50 holes like nothing
Cons
  • Pilot bit broke on first use.
