"Typical DeWalt construction."
"The shaft size on the larger arbor required use of the half inch drill; I had trouble getting the big drill into a couple if spots."
"I used it in a light aluminum slide but unfortunately the sides wear off."
"Great kit and love the quick mount."
"Does all that one would expect and it fits other hole saws that are not DeWalt brand."
Diamond Drill Bits, are also know as Diamond Core Drill Bits, Diamond Hole Saws or Bonded Diamond Drill Bits. They are often called Glass Drill or Tile Drill, but they are much more versatile since they are used to drill glass, ceramics, porcelain, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, limestone, slate, marble, granite, light stone, and fiberglass. 3.Low drill pressure and increased use of water lubrication will extend drill bit life considerably. SPEED KILLS: Reduced drill speeds, low drill pressure and increased use of water lubrication will extend drill bit life considerably.

"If you want to make more than 2 holes on porcelain tiles then for each size you need to buy more sets, they are not expensive anyway."
"Took some trial and error and figuring out new ways to brace the drill, but worked fine once the whole was started."
"Despite packaging that said you get what you paid for (all bits were just loose in a big zip lock bag making the shipping box jingle pleasantly) the bits were in good shape on arrival and I only drilled one hole in porcelain floor tile for the toilet water line coming through the floor and a couple in ceramic tiles for the tub faucet the holes were perfectly smooth and went fairly quickly."
"My brother sent me on a hunt for him."
"They worked great but using these with a free hand drill would be a whole new challenge."
"Exellent to open holes on fish tanks , this ones was 20g petco store."
"I could do using the wide variety of sizes provided I think I may work on a couple of craft projects using empty wine bottles."

"The steel is pretty strong, but won't hold up to a super powerful drill motor if you go too fast."
"Having a corded electric drill would probably be best, but i was able to cut four holes with my cordless dewalt drill."
"I have literally built 15 sets of cornhole boards with this hole saw."
"My first cut, the center post drill bit that guides the say broke clean off!!!"
"I didn't like this hole saw because it is very flimsy."
"I was able to use the hole saw to still make guidelines for the jigsaw cuts on some cornhole boards, so I finished the job... just not getting the value from this purchase that I'd expected."
"I was able to cut one hole in 1/4" hardboard using a drill press, and the result was a jagged hole, lots of vibration, and I was concerned that it might break."

"Nice adjustability of the center drill bit inside the circle saw component."
"Thus there is no way to reliably order a Dewalt arbor for a 3/8" drill to fit a hole saw with a 5/8"-18 engagement thread."
"As this was my first hole saw and I didn't already have the mandrel portion, I ordered the combo of 2"-dia (2"-max-depth) hole saw and 7/16"-shank mandrel [DW1803] recommended by Amazon. The 2 pegs in the silver-colored locking collar snap into one of the 2 opposing-hole pairs in the bottom of any Dewalt hole saw to hold the cutting end in place, but at the same time prevent the hole saw from locking itself onto the mandrel under the torque of drilling. Just slip the mandrel shank into your drill chuck & tighten down, then with the drill positioned the way you'll be using it (butt end against your belly), use one hand to pull the locking collar toward you as far as you can, and the other hand to screw the barrel end of the hole saw onto the threaded part of the mandrel. You should end up such that tightening the barrel part all the way down leaves the locking pins misaligned with both of the crosswise pairs of receiving holes, at which point you unscrew the barrel just enough to allow the pins to snap into the nearest hole pair. Lastly, I used the centering hole left in the tenon by the pilot bit of the hole-saw mandrel by drilling a same-1/4"-diameter hole the rest of the way through the center of the mortise (which in my case only went 1.5" sideways into a 4x4, roughly halfway through) and then using a lag screw started from the opposite side of the 4x4 to firmly fasten everything together."
"This quick change Mandrel is required when using other style hole cutting saw blades."
"I purchased (http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D180034-8-Inch-Standard-Bi-Metal/dp/B00005LEZB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419370355&sr=8-1&keywords=DEWALT+D180034+2-1%2F8-Inch+Standard+Bi-Metal+Hole+Saw) as well from Amazon which is a great product."
"The locking pins will even match up on my other hole saws so...I am not sure if this is by design or by accident but the end result is they fit and it really makes your hole saw fit good and snug."
"Mostly, I want to address the 1-star reviews—those who are breaking the pilot bit are doing so because they're not pre-drilling a smaller pilot hole first."
