?? On hole saws for knotchers?

[timothy]

My current 1.5" has about an 1/8" runout at the buisness end. ( YA! I GOT ALL SORTAWAYS PISSY) AS I centered and squared it to the work piece, spun the shafed on the knotcher by hand, and watched the top of the holesaw RISE above the work piece. (F&*%^K)! Now here I vent serching for answers. I guess my ? is, less $ or more $$$ for holesaws. ( I've been told the less $ ones are just as good as the pricyer ones.) ( CHEERS):beer: OOOH WHAT THE H&@^%LL IT's friday:beer::beer::beer:

Lennox or blue mole are all I buy.

I keep a couple on hand... I think they are lennox and dewalt branded what ever Fastenal had on the shelf.

so, is this problem normel? This is a BLU-MOL XTREME brand, I think I payed $10. for it.

if you let it get hot weird **** can happen... I just break the teeth or round them off... I also will use some cutting fluid as well.

Lennox is what I run for cheap ones, they work ok for a while. I also get real carbide hole saws that rock. you could build an entire chassis with one. And keep cutting oil on all of them.

I can notch and cut a whole cage with one chop saw disc and one flapper.


I have a notcher and I hate it. Thats just me tho.


Its weird, Ive never been in a handrail shop with a holesaw notcher?

I hate you :fawkdancesmiley:

I use Milwaukee, and Lennox.
My notcherr shaft is bent though,(harbor freightuke So to circumvent that I measured the resulting hole and stepped down one size in hole saws to get the Actual hole size I wanted..... LOL
Make sense?:haha:

I use White lithium, or tapping fluid for almost everything I cut with a hole saw. Depends on thickness. W.L for thinner wall stuff. T.F. for thicker stuff.
cheers

Champion Carbide hole saws and some anchor lube. Use that combo all the time at work cuttine holes in stainless boxes with out issues.
