2-Inch LENOX Speed Slot Hole Saw with Arbor (1772779)

Stephen Sikora: Worked well for drilling a 2" hole through multiple pieces of 2x6's. Takes a strong drill since a lot of torque is required once the bit get deep into the middle of the wood. The trick I found is not to push too hard and just let the bit's teeth do the work, since they dig in quite well. I was able to drill through 3 pieces of 2x6 (4-1/2" total depth) without any problem.

Marty: Fits any conventionnal drill perfectly. Does a perfect circle, was afraid that it would chip my desk but its very precise.. make sure you do it at high velocity and it will do the trick.

Concerned-US-Citizen: It's a Lenox, which means it always works as advertised, makes clean cuts, and stays sharp for a long time. Plus it comes with an arbor.

Mike Orlowski: Great, durable product. I used this to drill more than 20 holes for cable access through a laminate countertop. It still has plenty of life. The holes were exactly 2" diameter. Includes center drill bit.

MelMel: I'm an occasional DIYer so I just have a few underpowered Ryobi tools to take care of any projects that come up at home.

I was putting together a custom desk with a secondhand hard maple tabletop and was scratching my head over how to create a 2" grommet hole for my cords without burning out my little Ryobi drill or breaking my wrist from kickback, which is how my cheap Ryobi 2" hole saw behaves, even with softer wood. I decided to bite the bullet and invest in this Lenox hole saw and I do not regret that decision.

It still took me <1 hour of light pressure, high-torque, and low-speed drilling to chip away at the 1.75" thickness of the tabletop (from both sides) but the hole turned out as cleanly and beautifully as a cheap little drill could make and I now have a stunning desk and place to run my cords at 1/3 the price of buying an overpriced, cheaply produced desk from retail.

Phil A.: Just used it to drill several holes through 3/4" plywood and it cut through with no problem. Also the slots on the side made it easy to remove the cut out plywood material. in the past I've used hole saws that made if very difficult remove the waste material.

Ben: Did what I wanted and still usable. I cut baffles out of a motorcycle. I never broke it so worth the purchase for my application

Tech & Bio Expert: This hole saw was able to cut through a desk top quickly using a portable drill (20 volt bolt-on).
The desk top consists of high-density particle board with a laminate top layer.
The size of the teeth were larger than expected which allows faster cutting.

I was concerned that these larger teeth would produce a jagged edge in the laminate top layer.

I was pleasantly surprised that the hole saw produced a clean cut in the laminate top.

The uxcell Cable Hole Cover available on Amazon fit into the hole a little lose but it works as needed.

S. Fannin: I use this entirely to cut coves in the edges of shelves. I cut the cove and then I route a decorative edge around it to make a nice border in place of a sharp corner. (Cove is just where you cut a curve out of a spot in wood, you've seen it plenty of times, mostly on corners. So that's important--a bit like this is most likely used to cut complete circular holes through things, which I never do, so I can't say for certain how well it does that. It's much better than the cheaper bit I was using before it. Why? It cuts fast, cuts straight, and doesn't wobble. Wobbling causes sloping of the sides of a hole, especially if you don't do the full 360' of the hole but will make a straight through kind of funnel shaped at the top too. Circular bits like this often "keep" the plug they cut out of something and it's a pain to remove. And when you're forcing it out, you may bend the teeth out, causing...wobble. This one has a clever slot in it for removing the plug, so you don't ever hurt the bit doing that plus you often don't have to do much at all. It's not the cheapest one you will be able to find but it represents value because it really is better than the cheap ones--I've owned both.
