Lenox 3001818L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Lenox Speed Slot bi-metal hole saw come in?
Twelve diameters, from 1-1/8 inch up to 5 inch: 1-1/8, 1-3/8, 1-1/2, 2, 3, 3-1/2, 3-5/8, 4, 4-1/8, 4-1/2, 4-3/4 and 5 inch. Each is a separate Lenox part number, so a 2 inch is 3003232L and a 4 inch is 3006464L. The 3-5/8 inch is the one electricians usually want for 4 inch round box and recessed can work, and 2 inch covers most conduit penetrations.
2) Does the Lenox hole saw come with an arbor and pilot bit?
No. It's sold as a bare cup, so you supply the arbor and pilot drill. The saw threads onto the arbor, and you need an arbor sized for the diameter you're cutting before it's usable on the job.
3) Will a bi-metal hole saw cut steel, or is it only for wood?
It cuts both. The bi-metal build puts a high-speed steel tooth edge on a flexible carbon steel body, so it handles sheet metal and thin steel as well as wood. Run it slow to start the kerf on metal, then bring the speed up. For masonry or tile it's the wrong tool, you want a carbide-grit or diamond saw for that.
4) What is the Speed Slot feature actually for?
Plug removal. The cup wall has a staircase-shaped slot cut into it so you can lever the slug out from the side instead of fighting it out through the cup. On a day of drilling studs and joists that's the difference between a clean pace and stopping to dig out every core.
5) Can I use one arbor across several of these Lenox hole saw sizes?
Arbors are threaded by size band, and the range here spans 1-1/8 inch through 5 inch, which crosses that split. Small-diameter cups use the smaller thread and the larger cups use the bigger one, so if you're buying both a 1-3/8 inch (3002222L) and a 4-1/2 inch (3007272L) plan on two arbors.
6) Which size covers a 4 inch recessed light or an octagon box?
For a nominal 4 inch round opening you generally cut slightly over, which is why the 3-5/8 inch (3005858L) and 4-1/8 inch (3006666L) sizes exist alongside the straight 4 inch (3006464L). Pick the one that matches the fixture's cut-out dimension rather than its nominal name.
7) Is this a cordless or corded tool?
Neither. It's a cutting accessory, not a powered tool, so there's no battery and no chuck size to match. It mounts on an arbor that goes into the chuck of whatever corded or cordless drill you already run.
8) What is the right way to start a hole saw so it doesn't wander or grab?
Clamp or block the workpiece first, mark your center, and begin at low RPM until the pilot bit and teeth have established a full kerf. Then bring the speed up and hold steady, even pressure rather than leaning on it. Leaning on a bi-metal cup is how teeth get lost. Once through, clear the slug out through the side slot before the next hole.
