Best Hole Saw Kits to Get the Job Done
Benchmark Abrasives' Hole Saw Kits are made for pros who need the right tool every time. These are jobsite-ready sets with no filler parts—just sharp, durable saws that punch clean holes through wood, plastic, sheet metal, and more.
Each kit packs a range of common sizes, so you’re ready for anything from rough-in plumbing and EMT installs to furniture work or cleanouts on wood panels. Whether it's hardwood, soft metal, or PVC, these hole saws stay sharp and cut straight.
Choosing the Best Hole Saw for the Material
Picking the right teeth and using lube when needed keeps your saws sharper, longer—and stops heat buildup. Here's a straight-talk breakdown:
| Material | Tooth Pitch | Use Lubricant? |
| Steel | Fine (18-24 TPI) | Yes—cutting oil |
| Stainless | Extra fine (24-32 TPI) | Yes—high-pressure lube |
| Wood | Coarse (4-6 TPI) | No |
| Plastic | Medium (6-10 TPI) | Optional |
Start slow on metal. Speed up for wood and plastic. Always clamp your work and use a sharp pilot bit.

FAQs
What’s the best hole saw kit for metal?
Choose a bi-metal kit with fine tooth pitch (18 TPI or more). Always use lube and low RPM.
Can I use one kit for everything?
Yes, but swap saws for different materials and adjust your drill speed.
How long do pilot bits last?
They wear faster than saws. Keep a few spares on hand if drilling through metal or abrasive materials.
Do I have to use lubricant for plastic?
Not always. Use it if the material is thick or you notice heat buildup—it helps with clean ejection.
