I needed a smooth cut in softer materials that other wood hole saws provide. This bit works a little rough on my drill press. The cut came out a bit uneven even with the fixture holding my materials. I slowly lowered the bit and still had some rough spots. It's fine for simple woodwork, but for softer materials like vinyl or PVC it just doesn't produce a clean enough edge if that's what you're looking for. It doesn't compare to my best hole saws. The teeth are pretty far apart so it was a little exciting too, move slowly when using hand tools with this hole saw. Not a hole saw that I would recommend for regular use. Whether you need it for basic work or very casual use, this will work.
