Carbide Tipped Hole Saw

A carbide-tipped hole saw is a cutting tool designed to create holes in various materials, including metal, wood, plastic, and ceramics. It is a specialized type of hole saw that incorporates carbide cutting teeth, which are extremely durable and can withstand the demands of cutting through...

I would not buy the Diablo set, that screw in only arrangement for the larger hole saws is absolute garbage, you want the arbor with the two pins

The two pins saves you time trying to get the hole saw off the arbor after it tightens on with use. I had a hole saw kit, from can. tire that I would use when I needed too, just a thread on arbor. Then I bought a bunch of hole saws with arbors (that had the two pins) from a garage sale. Always go with the arbor with the two pins when I can now. Just my thoughts.

I have never used carbide hole saws. Std bimetal blades have always worked well for me. Mostly sheet metal up to 1/4" and other various wood and plastic cutting. I'd get a good bimetal set, and if you find you're burning up a particular size replace with carbide. Unless you find a good deal on a carbide set, or feel like spending money. I'm cheap, and hate that part lol.
