As I use a hole saw a lot I knew immediately that this product would not work. Maybe I got a defective one, but as you can see, the hole saw can't get to these threads. I'll update the review when I get to work and try an actual hole saw. I hope that works. To update. Suitable for hole saw. I haven't tried cutting anything yet to see if it's difficult. It looks like it would be a welcome addition to my toolbox.
