This is my first time using a hole saw. The reason I wanted this one is because it's cheap and came with a mandrel attachment for use with my drill bit. I used it on the back of my homebrew kegerator (metal outside, plastic inside) to route the gas lines. The 9/16 hole was the perfect size for a typical (US) CO2 gas line. I'm going to try this on my SS fermentor next, it's a bit thicker so we'll see how it germinates. ;)
