Extremely thorough explanation of how to get as far as drilling the hole. I came in search of how to clear it of tightly packed debris (softwood) so my quest continues. You say Mandril, we Brits call them Arbors.
Aaaaahhhhhh! I need a mandrel! Ok... that makes sense. I've never used a hole saw before, and I only bought the 3" hole saw thinking that's all I needed. Yeah, that didn't work! Thanks for this video! It really cleared things up :)
Oh thx. This helps a lot. May I ask how would one make the hold without the drill bit going all the way through. I mean I have a 2.5" piece of 4x4 that I want to make hold a tea light. Like a candle holder and the drill bit that guides this goes to far past the hole saw cut. Sorry, learning here.
+James MacInnis Fine. But there is a difference and depending on the requirements you might want to take that into consideration. I suppose if you have a hole saw use it, if not then use the spade bit (and perhaps bore 1/2 way down and come from underneath to finish?)
Some people do for starting the cut - especially if they don't have the drill bit or they are cutting at an angle. Once the groove is formed then the drill can be used in the clockwise direction.
initially set for reverse. Makes a groove that the saw is less likely to jump out of - especially if not using a center guide bit. Once a groove is formed then use drill in forward to make cut.
No need to wrench tighten the hole saw as it will tighten on its own when you start cutting. But keep it handy as you need the wrench to get the saw off the mandrel. For the newer Milwaukee arbor see ua-cam.com/video/CADuw7Q55x4/v-deo.html
@@AvengerReloaded Torque is your friend and maybe some penetrating oil. Wrenches with longer handles will allow you to apply more force. I find that a long thick screw driver through the openings of the saw can help.
+Adrienne V The drill bit is held in place with a grub screw, normally an allen bolt. Sometimes it can be a flat head grub screw. There is a flat spot on the drill bit that the grub screw tightens against.
+Panchdara Oh, by flat head grub screw I mean it requires a flat head screwdriver, basically the grub screw is a small threaded bolt with a slot in one end.
Why don't you explain which size Mandrel is needed? I bought the 2 1/2" saw and a 3/8 Mandrel they did NOT join together. Why did I buy the 3/8" Mandrel you ask. Because Ace hardware suggested that size when I added the saw to my online cart. The packaging on the Milwaukee saw did Not State which size Mandrel I needed. How about telling these companies to State on the Packaging WHAT DAMNED SIZE IS NEEDED. And Ace Harare STOP SUGGESTING ITEMS UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR A FACT WHICH MANDREL FITS THE SAW! Waisted my entire day and evening running back and forth to the Ace Hardware store. Now it's to late in the day to do my water project.
Jeez, give me a break. Who buys a hole saw kit? Funny how that pilot hole magically appeared in the video. Apparently not important detail.What a clown.

Thank you, I was trying to figure out how to attach the hole saw to the drill. Learned new word; Mandrel.
You explained this way better than my husband did! Now I can do this myself :)
:-O
Very helpful to learn to drill a hole in a desk compartment for wire management .

I know, right? Same here.
Am looking for an adjustable circle cutter think they best
Thank you so much. My 4" hole saw kept flying off.
Great video thanx for the help
@hp11208 But the hole saw for the door is the only one you'll need most of the time HP.
Thank you, that's what I needed to know.
Glad you think so and thanks for commenting Arrow.
Excellent tutorial, thank you!
Thank you for the info.
Nice video. Just keep update my friends
He got it done in the end Sack - that's the main thing !
You're welcome and thanks for commenting Tina.

No Sackboot, I use a smaller drill bit; the pilot hole is just to guide the mandrel bit.
Hey just a quick heads up, Hyezmar is allowing people who visit website to get his woodworking plans before he publishes them for sale.
Nice,Thank you.
now i know whats the use of the mandrel on my toolbox
Should I remove de mandrel if I have the “fixer clamp”?
thanks!
What about if I have to use the bigger size? Does the nut inside the saw or outside? Why can't I find this on the net??
you have the whole set there,i probaly only have the door one lo.
Very informative!
What materials will this cut through? How about metal, Formica, granite etc....
tankyou so much , can I ask if there are different saws for different materials , I mean for wood , metal , wall ,
What sizes are those wrenches?
this helped me thanks
Pretty helpful, but aren't there ones without the mandrel, is there a difference?
Do hole saws work using a smaller hand drill? If I buy it with the mandrel or does it have to be a bigger hand drill?
I want to cut holes around nails on wood pallets. Are there hole saws that can be attached to drill without mandrel?
What kind of drill were u using? Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Dimensions of a 2” hole saw, depth, or in a 2 x 6? Thx!
Nice.
Most holesaws lock in place with 2 pins on spring plate which line up with 2 holes in the saw. right?
Not on the smaller hole saws (top row)... 1-3/4" and bigger look like the ones that use the 2 holes arbor.
What kind of drill is best for hole saws. Hammer, impact or normal. I'm having trouble with a really tough 2x10. I'm making vent attic holes.
I'm using a 3 inch hole dozzer with a craftsman 12v drill
I understand you where doing this to teach about the hike saw, but for this application wouldnt a spade bit work just as well?
Spade bit would probably mess up the underside by splintering, whereas the hole saw leaves a nicer finish underneath.
Yeah but it's underneath the counter.
+James MacInnis Fine. But there is a difference and depending on the requirements you might want to take that into consideration. I suppose if you have a hole saw use it, if not then use the spade bit (and perhaps bore 1/2 way down and come from underneath to finish?)
This helped me! Tha
Sir, it comes in size of 15 centimeters
TY!
Do you set the drill for reverse?
Some people do for starting the cut - especially if they don't have the drill bit or they are cutting at an angle. Once the groove is formed then the drill can be used in the clockwise direction.
(Y)
Why?
initially set for reverse. Makes a groove that the saw is less likely to jump out of - especially if not using a center guide bit. Once a groove is formed then use drill in forward to make cut.

Mine is not coming off with 2 wrenches in play. What do you do to remove the center drill core from this to switch to another size hole cutter?
@@AvengerReloaded Torque is your friend and maybe some penetrating oil. Wrenches with longer handles will allow you to apply more force. I find that a long thick screw driver through the openings of the saw can help.
why is my screw falling out
Sorry to sound dumb but how do you undo this, release the bit?
Use the wrenches to undo. To remove the actual drill bit from the arbor, use an allen key.
Thanks for your answer. What if there isn't an allen key hole?
+Adrienne V The drill bit is held in place with a grub screw, normally an allen bolt. Sometimes it can be a flat head grub screw. There is a flat spot on the drill bit that the grub screw tightens against.

All that talking and you only show one of the 3 ways you have to assemble these bits.
Way too fast
Stodoys plans help with such details.
so i made it too . just by using woodprix woodworking plans:)
Jeez, give me a break. Who buys a hole saw kit? Funny how that pilot hole magically appeared in the video. Apparently not important detail.What a clown.
i have a lenox hole saw kit. fuck you.
the pilot hole was not magical.he said he drilled it. He drilled two actually he made an error. why would someone not have a kit.? you are the clown
Best kit available as far as I'm concerned - up to 6", but hang on if you're using it (6") with a hand drill! :)
+DEEE STROYED +deee stroyed - my comment was directed at you about the Lenox.
Really? I bought one and used it today. He explained how he drilled the pilot hole.
