Review on Bosch HB600 Bi Metal Hole Saw by Dee Rawls

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good saw; Difficult to get a straight cut with an electric drill, works better with a slower battery

Used this hole saw on a drill to cut a round hole in a pine door. It is used with a mandrel (I used a Bosch PCM38AN). I got a lot of kickback when using it with an electric drill and it was impossible to make a straight cut. She seemed to be able to work better on a drill. However, I switched the saw to a less powerful 12 volt drill and had much better results at lower speeds and was able to finish my project. The saw still appears to be sharp. It's probably a good choice if you need a 6 inch hole. But don't expect the hole to come out as clean as it would with a smaller saw or forstner bit.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Out of style
