Hole Saw Tricks That Might Save the Day!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hole saws rely heavily on their pilot bit or centering pin to keep the cutter steady while cutting. But what if your pilot bit breaks or you have nothing to keep the centering pin in place? Here's a few ways I've come up with to solve these problems and use hole cutters where some thought it wasn't possible!

    Can I add a tip ? If cutting a hole in thicker material, sometimes the chips fill the cut line preventing the hole saw from efficient cutting. If you can drill a hole in the "scrap" side of your hole on the cut circle (it must touch the cut line) it will provide an exhaust for the chips to fall out greatly increasing cutting efficiency, and saving wear and tear on your saw.

    That’s an incredible tip! Thank you Skip. 🙏 I will certainly be trying it. You can feel when the cut slows and I generally lift for a second and blow out the debris and then start again. Good as new! I’m so excited to give this one a shot! Cheers!

    You and I both Michael! I am constantly drilling overlapping holes. Possibly just because I know I can. It doesn’t eliminate the die grinder completely unfortunately since you often have to smooth out the peaks between the holes but it makes it way faster. If you haven’t already seen my video with the Shrinker/Stretcher build, go check it out. There’s a tip in there about putting the carbide bit from your die grinder into a router with the same size chuck. It makes cleaning up edges of holes really easy and looks like machine work. Cheers my friend! 👊

    Such a great way to start my morning. Great tip. Many years ago a co-worker saved my bacon by sharing this trick with me after I punched a too-small hole in a very expensive signal control box and I was struggling to re-drill it with the next size bit. It was a cluster - lol. He had a similar tool but made of an old tattered slab of wood. Yours is so much cooler - lol. So glad to see you posting more frequently.

The company I worked for brought the bits to a local place (in Vegas) to be sharpened. I’ve been meaning to give them a call and see if they still use that sharpening company. I haven’t needed to sharpen them since I’ve had them. (At least 3 years) I have broken two though. They’re very brittle and don’t like being dropped.

    I'm a new Subscriber to your channel, so I don't know if this has been addressed in a previous video - One VERY important thing (in my opinion / experiences) is the SFPM of any cutting tool. Over the years, I've watched so many seasoned mechanics take (for example) a 1/2" diameter drill bit and attempt to place a hole in the frame of a truck, while installing aftermarket components. Your typical air drill only runs at about 700 rpm (free speed) - but you cannot run larger diameter drill bits at full speed when attempting to drill a hole through a truck frame. The drill bit quickly overheats and I would imagine it then work-hardens the spot your drilling in, causing you to struggle even more, regardless of how much spray oil you shoot at it. General rule-of-thumb is that: Speed equals 80 surface feet per minute in 100 Brinell hardness material and the speed should be reduced 10 surface feet per minute for each additional 50 points Brinell hardness. Brinell hardness of medium-carbon steel is approximately 200 MPa. So, that'd be 60 SFPM - right? R.P.M. = (3.8197 / Drill Diameter) x S.F.M. 3.8197 / 0.5 x 60 = 458 RPM Now, let's say you're using a 3/4" hole saw to cut through 1/4" steel plate - - 3.1897 / 0.75 x 60 = 256 RPM Anyway - You can see that as cutting tool diameter INCREASES, the rpm that you run it at needs to DECREASE. But then again - I have no idea what awesome hole tools Garage Fab is using in these videos, as they look more like a fancy end-mill?

    That was far too advanced for my brain to process at the moment. 🤯 However amazingly I have noticed how much better a large hole saw cuts at a slow speed. I’m also no stranger to work hardening while drilling. I will review all that information probably several times until I finally understand it. Thank you for taking the time to share. Oh! They’re called Hougen RotaCut Hole Cutters. They’re kinda pricey but worth every penny. Here’s a pair of associate links to the two specific sets I own… Small amzn.to/3guFEwJ Large amzn.to/3ukxxL5

    AAron I uses roto bit type cutters at my job (they look like end mills that are hollow ) we use Pink liquid hand soap to cut holes there is no smoke the theory is that oil make the cutter slip were the soap just keeps the bit cool and it cuts properly with no slipping .one positive thing about the soap is i just wash the parts and the tools in hot water when i am done.

This still leaves a ridged support that also allows the next hole to be drilled for a pill shape. I doubt this would work on a more complex project but simple holes are easy. I hope that makes some sense.
