Lenox 3008080L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Lenox 3008080L 5-inch hole saw come with an arbor or pilot bit?
No. The 3008080L is the hole saw cup only. You supply the arbor and pilot drill separately, and on a 5-inch cup that means a large-diameter arbor rather than the small-saw type. The Speed Slot connection lets you mount and swap the cup on the arbor quickly once you have one.
2) Will a 5-inch bi-metal hole saw cut steel and sheet metal, or is it only for wood?
It cuts both. Bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel body with high speed steel teeth, so the same cup goes through lumber and engineered wood as well as sheet metal and steel. That is what the Multipurpose saw type designation means on the Lenox 3008080L: one cup for mixed-material work rather than a wood-only cup.
3) Is a 5-inch hole saw the right size for running conduit or a recessed can through framing?
5 inches is the cut diameter, so it makes a 5-inch hole, larger than typical single-conduit work and sized more for bigger penetrations like ductwork openings, panel knockouts, and large fixture cutouts. Electricians reaching for conduit or junction box holes usually want a smaller cup; step up to the 5-inch when the opening itself is that size.
4) How do you get the plug out of a 5-inch Lenox Speed Slot hole saw?
Through the staircase-shaped slots in the cup wall. You pry the slug out through the slot with a screwdriver instead of digging it out of the back of the cup, which is the main reason to choose a Speed Slot cup at 5 inches, where a stuck plug is heavy and awkward.
5) Should I buy a bi-metal hole saw or a carbide one for cutting through metal studs and sheet steel?
Bi-metal, like the Lenox 3008080L, is the general-purpose choice: it handles wood and sheet metal on the same cup and tolerates the occasional nail better than a brittle tooth. Carbide-tipped cups are the pick when you are cutting abrasive material like cast iron, stainless, or fiber cement all day. For mixed-trade work where one cup has to do wood framing and light steel, bi-metal is the one to carry.
6) Does this Lenox hole saw need a specific chuck size or any power source?
No chuck size applies to the cup itself, and the saw uses no power of its own. Chuck size is determined by the arbor you mount it on and the drill you put that arbor in. It is a passive cutting accessory, not a tool, and no battery is included or required.
7) What is the correct drill speed for running a 5-inch hole saw?
Slow. Large-diameter cups need low RPM and steady, moderate pressure so the teeth can establish the kerf without work-hardening metal or burning wood. Start the cut at moderate speed, let the teeth track a full circle, then keep the feed constant rather than leaning on the drill.
