How To Use
How To Use
- Angle Grinder Setup: Thread the hole saw directly onto the 5/8"-11 spindle. Start at a 45-degree angle to create a "crescent" guide, then slowly tilt the tool upright.
- Standard Drill Setup: Use the included adapter. Tighten the chuck securely and operate at high RPM.
- Pro Tip: Use a steady, light circular motion ("oscillating") while drilling to help clear dust and keep the cutting edge cool.
- Heat Management: For deep cuts, pause for 10 seconds every 30 seconds of drilling to allow the air-cooled side slots to dissipate heat.

F.A.Q.
F.A.Q.
Q: Can I use this hole saw on glass or mirrors?
A: No. Due to the high-torque vacuum-brazed design, this tool is too aggressive for glass. For glass or mirrors, please use our Drilax Chrome Series wet-drilling bits.
Q: Does it really work without water?
A: Yes. The Pro Series is optimized for dry drilling. However, using a light mist of water or a wet sponge can help with dust suppression in indoor environments.
Q: Will this fit my 3/8" or 1/2" drill?
A: Yes. The included adapter features a standard shank that fits all common 3/8" and 1/2" drill chucks from brands like DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Ryobi.
