I was able to cut 3 holes through a 1/4 stainless steel plate. The pilot drill bit wore out before, but it works better than the expensive hole saw.

It definitely cuts a hole in just about everything.

I broke one of the center drill bits (I was drilling upside down on the bottom of a trailer). They send me a replacement fast. I was able to drill through stainless Steal and steal beam on a trailer.

I purchased this to cut a hole in some sheet metal, for a project I was doing. When the bit finally cut into the metal, it jerked the drill out of my hand. Did this several times. Finally had to finish cutting the hole out with my Dremel. This might work alright on wood or some other softer material, but definitely not metal.

Cut two holes in 1mm thick aluminum. The saw cut the holes no problem, but afterward there were some teeth with quite a bit of wear. This makes me think the longevity of this saw isn't great, but for the price you really can't expect a great tool.

If you need standard inch holes with any precision you might want to look elsewhere. But... If that's not in your list of requirements I found decent value in this carbide tipped hole saw. I got it specifically to cut holes in both 1/8 and 1/4 304/316 stainless and it does that acceptably well. Lowest speed on my PorterCable drill press is 300rpm which is significantly higher than recommended for this size hole saw. I kept the bit well lubed and didn't rush the cut. The first hole was quick. The following holes were... less quick but still acceptable to me. Got no idea how many holes one of these bits is good for in 1/4 Stainless Steel but for 9 bucks and 3 holes so far I feel like I'm winning! :>)

Did the job but took forever to cut through 1/4 thick steel plate. Did not take damage so it can be used again. Used tons of cutting oil

I used this cutter to cut 6, 4 1/2 holes in 3/16 cold rolled steel. At first, it seems to not be drilling accurate as the kerf looked like it was way to thick; however, once completed, the hole is clean and accurate. The final hole size was 4, 9/16th which is just a tad over 4 1/2 - it will work fine. This cutter is a bear to handle in steel with even a large two handed power drill and a lot of Tap-Magic cutting fluid and I found there is a happy medium on cutting speed, too slow it won't cut, too fast and it shrieks and doesn't cut to good either. I did break both of the pilot bits when the cutter broke through the steel - I simply replaced the pilot with an equally sized titanium bit and it worked fine.

Carbide teeth snapped off just touching the steel surface... what a waste of time. Returning both sizes

I've only used this is once. Did a nice job on some thin sheet metal. Would need a beefier drill press if I wanted to go thru thicker metal.

These are out of round a bit especially concerning the pilot bit. I needed some fairly precise holes in some thick I- beams. I put the bodies in a lathe and redrilled the the hole for the pilot bit and installed a larger pilot. These cured most of the out of round problem. Once that was out of the way they cut really well.

Bites hard. Was hoping for something that wasn't so grabby. Used to drill a gooseneck hole in the bed of my truck. Bits are round and once I did need it to dig in it just spun in my drill. Wish the bits where hex heads, but if they were, and grabbed harder, prob would of sprained my wrists. Got'er done though. Good for the price.
