Once again, You Tube is the best resource for this single woman that's a serious DIYer. I bought a set of the hole saws and had not been able to figure out the arbor mechanics. I bought several smaller extra hole saws that are the smallest they make, and it's been a real challenge to figure out what I need to get for them. There's lot of choices on arbors..at local hardware and big box stores, but no one seems to know how to help me. Now, "I know" what I "need to know". Thank you much!
Sandi, congrats persevering! Strange how there are instructions on how to open the zip lock on Animal Crackers, but not on a tool that needs it.
Thank you, I bought the Milwaukee kit yesterday, and as you said no instructions included. You've helped this newbie learn how to use this tool for making a hobby project for my great granddaughter.
Glad to hear the video helped. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for the instructional video. Bought a kit over a year ago and until today I’ve never used it. Thanks so much.
Certainly one of those tools that sits around waiting for that one moment when it needed and the hardware store is closed. Good to hear the video was useful, thanks for watching.
Thank you! I bought it today and thought it had instructions. NOT! Very nicely presented. I can actually use it tomorrow...
I get that a hammer doesn't come with instructions, but hole saws and arbors need some instruction so they are utilized correctly. Thank you for the feedback and good luck with your project.
Hello,
thank you for your very detailed explanation of the Hole Dozer. It's a shame that the manufacturer doesn't provide any instructions for use.
I love videos like this.
Keep it up.
Many greetings from Claus
Claus, thank you for the kind words. It is puzzling that they expect everyone to know how to use it and it sold at DIY stores. Thanks for watching.
This helped me with another brand of hole saw. I thought I had broken it because the drill bit came out. Now I see how to put it back. Thanks!
Nice to hear this video came in handy. Thank you for watching.
Yes, sir. It is very useful. I did figure it out all by myself, and watched this after: I still learned a lot from it. Thank you again.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Super, super useful instruction! I was very confused by Milwaukee, even got some minor injuries when trying to change the blade, due to not installed it correctly (thanks God, no major ones yet). That was why I searched and found your video. Hope Milwaukee or Home Depot put this on their site to prevent injuries for customers.
You would think detail instructions would come with a tool like this. When we couldn't find any easy to use instructions we decided to make this video to help prevent some injuries and frustration. Thank you for the feedback and for watching.
I bought the 4” Milwaukee hole saw. I had to buy the arbor separately on Amazon. Thanks so much for explaining very clearly how to attach the arbor. Great video ❤
Elizabeth, despite having this kit, I had to get a 4" hole saw for a ceiling light. Glad to hear this video was helpful. Thanks for the view and for the feedback.
Good demonstration, thank you! I don’t have this particular model, just the ones that came with my Stanley saw accessories. No holes and no thread, but I seem to be missing the section that fits into my saw chuck - a mystery as I’ve used it before!
They are like socks and eyeglasses always disappearing which is another reason I like when the kit includes a holder for everything. Good luck on the search and thanks for watching.
Thank you for your video. I did get bent over 2 weeks ago. I purchased the 7 piece. Allen wrench is the wrong size. Not sure my arbor is right for this kit. Will be taking it back.
Makes you wonder if someone bought and returned it with the wrong parts. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write.
Had to use a clamp and wrench to get mine loose. Now I get it! Thanks
And why isn't this information included with the product? Thank you for watching.
So helpful, thanks! Worked for my off brand hole saw
Wonderful to hear these instructions work for the "other" too. Thanks for sharing and watching.
Thank you for this video. My arbor isn't the exact same but because of this video I was able to discover it's magical quick release nerling.
And to think all they needed to do was just include some instructions. Glad to hear the video helped you out. Thanks for watching.
Great video! I found a hole dozer package along the road years ago but didn’t know how to use it.
Glad the video was able to help you figure out the dozer package. Too bad Milwaukee doesn't bother with instructions. Thank you for watching.
PS I also appreciate you pointing out the flat side of the drill bit, I’ll check to see if I have one, thank you again
It a shame that none of the different arbors I own come with instruction on how assemble it. Not sure why it is a secret.
Hey you can just take a bench grinder (preferably) or even a file and grind a flat on a rounded pilot bit. It’s similar to machinists using a “Weldon shank” so you can search up how to grind that :)
Feel like the bit is too short, how much does it stick out of the hole saw? 1/16????
Thank you. Very well done. Very clear. Even I can't mess this up!
Francisco, thank you for the view and the nice feedback.
The funny part is Milwaukee tells you to not use the second arbor in your video with larger hole saws (presumably because it might get stuck, and because there is no place to grip the hole saw with a wrench on the larger ones wrench) BUT they actually sell them pre-assembled that way as a kit. I bought a 2" one, and - predictably - I had a HELL of a time getting it off after using it just to drill through some drywall.
I had to use an adjustable wrench on the hex bit side, and stick a long narrow screwdriver through the holes in the side of the hole saw to force it off. In my first attempt I destroyed a screwdriver, as it got bent.
They should really follow their own advice and only use the simple screw-on arbor for small hole saws...
They don't seem to be concerned with lack of clear instructions. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you but I’m stuck! My hole Dare won’t turn. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks. I had no instructions with my Makita holesaw arbor either. It's the same a the one with the knurled piece. Your instructions let me do it.
Good to hear this also works for Makita. Thank you for sharing and watching.
Excellent video, thank you. Is it possible to use the hole-saw without the drill bit? I’m trying to make tenons for log furniture, and I want to start the hole with the drill bit to get the hole-saw centered, and then remove the drill bit from the holesaw and continue drilling the tenon. If the drillbit continues all the way through the tenon, it will weaken the tenon.
You would only be able to cut until the arbor bottoms out on the material. I have never done this but think it should work. Let us know if you do it.
Thankyou very much I was confused how it was supposed to be assembled
Glad the video was helpful, thanks for watching.
GBU, sir! Wow, this tool is a thing of beauty, ingenious! Great video, so clear, THANK YOU! You're a good teacher, and nicely filmed also, good camera placement. Great lighting!
When I bought it, I was like, "WTH!? No instructions?!!!"
P.S. You deserve far more subscribers.
Lynne, I agree that having no instructions for a tool like this is a big shortcoming. Thank you so much for the kind feedback and subscription.
You’re amazing! Thank you for explaining so well:)
I just thought I could not be the only person that didn't know how to work this darn tool. Thank you for watching.
That really helped me out, thanks!
Delighted to hear the video was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Ty. Milwaukee didn’t give any instructions and I never used one of these in my life
You are welcome, glad this video could help you out. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for taking your time to give idiot proof instructions for people like me!
Good to hear the video was useful. Thank you for watching.
Great overview. What confuses me is that for larger holes, Milwaukee sells both a 3/8" arbor (without locking nut) and 7/16" arbor (with locking nut, shown in this video). They are priced the same, both are quick change, and both accept the same range in hole sizes, so I'm not sure what the use case for one vs the other is. Anyone know?
Would be interesting to learn if there is a reason for it. Another viewer mentioned the Spyder hole saw sold at Lowes is worth considering.
Same problem with the Makita kit d-47307!
Bought some Chinese tool.
The Chinese knew very little English, their instructions were incomprehensible although they made an honest attempt.
Bought some American hole saw kit.
Turns out they knew even less English.
Thanks for this video.
In trying out tools, it seems like creating good instructions for a product is a lost art. Maybe they figure someone will make a youtube video.
Great explanation
Walter, thank you for watching and sharing your feedback.
Thanks very much, I was totally baffled
Good to hear this video was helpful. thanks for watching.
Perfect! Thank You!
Thanks for watching and the feedback.
my first MILWAUKEE product, also my last. I dont buy tools so I can spend more time working on them instead of my product. this video was very informative. Mine is still stuck now I'm off to buy a different brand.
Dirk, would be interested in knowing what brand you end up with and if it is better. Thank you.
I just purchased the Spyder product, have been told its top-notch quality! Also, I watched a video on you tube, some guy who seemed to be a hole saw fanatic gave a great demo on using their product. Right now, I love the design and how simple the Spyder product appears. If I don't like it, I will come back here and tell you, but if I do like it, I won't say a word ok.... @@cfldriven
driven, just spent an hour using my new Spyder hole saw, and I absolutely love it!!! Never got close to seizing up, took the saw off easily, just push the button, slide the saw upward and it pushes out the chunk of wood and you simply slide it back into locked position.
@@DirkMcFann, Thank you for getting back and sharing your experience with Spyder hole saw. Good to hear it working for you, I will have to give it a try. Thanks again.
Thank you!
And thank you for taking the time to watch.
Great Video.
Lazaro, thank you. I appreciate you watching.
Never got the piece in the kit that has the two pins, have the nut and the flat ring but not the nurling
I would either return it or contact Milwaukee support.
THANK YOU
Vincent, and likewise for watching.
Thank you
And thank you for watching.
You the best thank you
Why thank you, now you can teach someone else how to use them. Thanks for watching.
Nice. Job!
Thank you very much.
Thank u sir!.
And thank you for taking the time to watch and write.
All my hole saws don't have a threaded centre hole, soooooo I was thinking a lock nut was missing. I was about to go and look to buying the lock nut. Anyway this set up with the locking pegs is a much better design.
Stephen, you may also want to consider Spyder. According to @ckone671
"the Spyder's carbide hole saws take' seconds to change and even spit out the wood."
So apparently... you can actually slip a socket over the end of the small arbor and use an impact with a wrench and it works like a charm if the holesaw is stuck. After drilling throigh metal... they don't want to come off and sometimes two wrenches or a set of adjustable pliers slip.
Wacky, thank you for watching and for sharing the useful tip about using a socket. Much appreciated.
A weak point of hole saws is the drill bit hole. Use anti seize and don’t crank or over torque the set screw. I remove the drill after use. They can get burs from the set screw and get stuck.
Over torquing and bottoming out will definitely make it much harder to disassemble after use. Milwaukee's approach on the big arbor has resulted in no stuck parts. THanks for watching.
Omg…thank you!
I guess you liked it. Thank you for taking the time to watch.
I have used a lot of hole saws in my day. Was on a job yesterday and forgot my arbor so I had to the store and buy one of these. They are CRAP! I couldn't keep that stupid backing nut from backing off and jamming so tight it took channel locks to get it loose. I spent more time jacking around with it that drilling holes, I wanted to throw it across the job!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
👍👍👍
Dale, thanks for watching.
That's a bit dissapointing about the small holesaw's having to be removed with pliers or a spanner :( Everything else is such a great design.
You're right they need to work on making it easier to use the smaller holesaw. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
As a contractor why would i even waste my time with this garbage system. Spyder's carbide hole saws take' seconds to change and even spit out the wood. Seconds! The Milwaukee system is complete garbage! Bosch used to have a similar system to Spyder's in the past, but not sure what happened to it.
Thank you for sharing about the Spyder hole saw, the ability to eject the material is impressive. The Spyder is exclusive to Lowes, although Amazon sells them for more, which could be issue for some viewers. I appreciate learning about this alternative hole saw.
I grabbed the 6" with ther nutless arbor and it will not stay on. I wouldn't recommend anyone to use that setup your fingers will thank you.
Good or bad, and in this case bad, I thank you for sharing your experience.
Man I can't believe there are actually people who can't figure out those simple steps. But your video really wasn't complete. The other thing most newbies need instructions on is setting the depth of the pilot bit to protude the correct amount in front of the saw. Also instructions on how it's sometimes better to go ahead with a regular drill and pre drill the quarter inch pilot hole so that the saw teeth don't grab suddenly when the pilot bit breaks through.
Buzz, what simple for some people is a challenge for others. It all depends on your past experience, of course it wouldn't hurt if the manufacturers would include some real instructions on how to best use their tools. Thank you for much for sharing the useful tips, much appreciated.
And yet…here I am taking mental notes 😂😂😂
Seriously, if you need instructions for this, you shouldn’t be using it.. it’s so simple..
Steven, I disagree not all tools are intuitive, and of course intuition is based on prior learning and experience. What might be simple to you, can be a challenge for others. It also doesn't help that Milwaukee didn't include any instructions. Thank you for sharing.
👍
I have a situation where my wooden drill bit snapped off and i need to extract it. These drill hole saws wont work because they have a drill bit in the middle. How do i get around that and have a hole saw bit with nothing in the middle ?
I would do a Google search, here is one solution I came across ua-cam.com/video/tZvNCmNI7MA/v-deo.htmlsi=l-XDHEQm7IpiCcLa
