Lenox 3006868L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Lenox 4-1/4 inch bi-metal hole saw come with an arbor?
No arbor is included. The Lenox 3006868L is the saw cup only, so you need a separate arbor with pilot drill sized for a large-diameter cup before you can chuck it up. The install sequence starts with selecting the arbor and seating it securely on the saw.
2) Will a bi-metal hole saw this size cut through steel studs and sheet metal, or is it wood only?
Bi-metal handles both. The body is spring steel with high-speed steel teeth, and the tooth design is set up to penetrate metal while the larger teeth clear wood fast. It is catalogued as a multipurpose saw type for that reason, so one cup covers stud track, sheet metal, plywood and dimensional lumber.
3) What is the Speed Slot on a Lenox hole saw for?
Plug removal. The slots are cut in a staircase pattern up the side of the cup so you can drive a screwdriver in behind the slug and pop it out without prying at the teeth. On a 4-1/4 inch cut the plug is heavy and tight, which is exactly where that feature earns its keep on a production day.
4) Do I need to worry about chuck size when ordering this hole saw?
No. Chuck size is not applicable to the saw cup itself, because the shank comes from whatever arbor you mount it on. Match the arbor shank to your drill chuck, typically 1/2 inch on a heavy-duty drill for a cup this diameter.
5) What part number do I order for the Lenox 4-1/4 inch bi-metal Speed Slot hole saw?
Order Lenox 3006868L. That is the manufacturer part number for the 4-1/4 inch bi-metal multipurpose cup with T3 tooth geometry.
6) How deep can I cut with this Lenox hole saw before the plug bottoms out?
Cut depth is limited by the cup, not the arbor. Overall the tool measures 4.688 x 2.25 x 5.5 inches, so on a standard-depth cup like this plan on single-wall material, framing lumber and sheathing rather than stacked timber. For thicker stock, cut from both faces.
7) What is the right technique to keep a 4-1/4 inch hole saw from wandering on the start?
Start slow. Mark the center, clamp or otherwise secure the workpiece, and run at low speed until the pilot bit establishes the hole, then bring the drill up to cutting speed with steady pressure. A cup this wide grabs hard if you start at full rpm. Clear the teeth and check them for wear after each hole.
8) Is the Lenox 3006868L a power tool or does it need batteries?
It is a cutting accessory, not a tool. No battery, no power source of its own, so it has nothing to charge and nothing to fail. You supply the drill.
