BOSCH HBT175 1-3/4 in. Bi-Metal T-Slot Hole Saw

The BOSCH HBT412 4-18 In. Bi-Metal T-Slot Hole Saw receives mixed reviews from customers. While some customers found it to be effective for drilling holes in steel tubing, others experienced issues with its performance. One customer reported that the hole saw burned out and died after drilling only halfway through a 3/8 inch mild steel plate. This suggests a lack of durability for heavier duty applications. On the positive side, another customer mentioned that they were pleasantly surprised to find that the hole saw worked with their existing Milwaukee arbor. This indicates compatibility with other brands, which is a useful feature for those who already own accessories from different manufacturers. The saw was also praised for its smooth cuts and ability to expel sawdust efficiently when cutting 5/8 inch hardwoods. Another customer reported that it did a decent job cutting into sheet aluminum. However, there were a few drawbacks mentioned by customers. One user stated that they needed a cutter that would provide a larger plug, and the BOSCH HBT412 did not meet their requirements. They suggested ordering a larger size for better results. Overall, the BOSCH HBT412 4-18 In. Bi-Metal T-Slot Hole Saw seems to have mixed performance. It may work well for drilling holes in certain materials, but customers should be cautious when using it for tougher applications.
