Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful Precision: DEWALT DWA1816 1 Inch Hole Saw for Accurate and Efficient Drilling by Adam Gambel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

good quality, curved cuts.

I have used a 6 inch Milwaukee dozer many times, I always borrowed it from a friend when I needed to make another set of corn pit boards. I guess I didn't want to invest almost $70 in my own. When I saw this saw from DeWalt I knew I would be sure it would be great quality and it is. It's similar to the Milwaukee version, if not better. Thick steel, sharp teeth and not thin at all! really solid. However, I haven't drilled a straight hole with it yet! I use the same technique I've always used with a bulldozer and never had this problem. Of course I could still be and I need to learn THIS saw like I should learn a bulldozer, but my holes come out clean and a little crooked. I'll update this if I can think of another strategy. UPDATE ** I've been using this hole saw for a while now and have found that I have to run the saw backwards to get the best cuts. The teeth are so sharp that they cut fairly clean holes even in the opposite direction. Proper handling only causes it to pop out of the cut and destroy the top of my intact corn hole boards. So it takes a few more seconds backwards, but it's definitely worth having a nice clean hole instead of a top in need of repair. Great hole saw!

Pros
  • Improved bi-metal material increases life and speed in all applications
Cons
  • I will add later
