Lenox 3002828L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does this Lenox hole saw come with an arbor or pilot bit?
No. It ships as a bare cup saw only, no arbor, no pilot drill, no battery or power tool. You mount it on a compatible arbor system you already have or order separately. There is no chuck size to match because the arbor, not the saw, goes in the drill.
2) Can I use a bi-metal Speed Slot hole saw on sheet metal, or is it only for wood?
Both. The bi-metal build pairs a high-carbon steel body with high-speed steel cutting edges, so it handles sheet metal and structural metal as well as wood. Lenox classes it as a multipurpose saw for that reason. Larger, sharper teeth clear wood fast, and the tooth design is set up to penetrate metal too.
3) How do you get the plug out of a Lenox Speed Slot hole saw?
That is what the slot and the staircase profile in the cup are for. After the cut you pry the core out through the stepped slot instead of fighting it with a screwdriver through a round window. On repetitive work, like running a row of holes for outlet boxes, that is where the time goes.
4) Which size hole saw do I need for electrical conduit and outlet box work?
For rough-in work the 1-3/4 inch (3002828L) covers most single conduit and cable pass-throughs, while the 2-1/2 inch (3004040L) suits larger openings and fixture or duct access. Both sizes are the same multipurpose bi-metal saw, so the choice is purely the finished hole diameter your conduit or box requires.
5) Is a bi-metal hole saw the right choice, or should I use a carbide-tipped one?
Bi-metal is the general-purpose pick: it flexes without snapping and holds an edge across wood, sheet metal and structural steel, which is why this one is catalogued as multipurpose. Carbide-tipped cups are the tool for abrasive masonry, cement board, tile and cast iron, where bi-metal teeth dull quickly. For mixed wood-and-metal remodel and MRO work, bi-metal is the one you keep in the pouch.
6) Does this hole saw need a battery or a specific power tool?
Neither. It is a non-powered cutting accessory with no battery, so it runs off whatever drill or mag drill you already own, corded or cordless, through a standard hole saw arbor. Torque and speed control matter more than brand: run slower in metal, faster in wood.
7) Will a thicker-walled hole saw actually last longer on metal?
That is the claim behind this design. Lenox increased the cup wall thickness on the Speed Slot line specifically to improve durability and cut down on tooth loss, which is the usual failure mode when a cup binds or chatters in sheet metal. Keep pressure steady rather than leaning on it and the teeth stay on the saw.
