I am very pleased with this 6.3" hole saw. I have used it with a cordless drill to cut 5 holes in various materials (including T-111 trim) to make a 6" exhaust duct to install. The size was perfect to leave room to maneuver the 6" ducts. I used another mandrel that I already had with a few extra threads to securely fit it. I was driving slow and didn't have one Problem with the saw flying off the arbor This saw was very valuable and saved me a lot of time.
