It seems like a lot of people are saying the Milwaukee kit sucks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's what I worry about. I found Jimbo's video: I've lost trust in Milwaukee's bits in general but that doesn't necessarily mean that this set is bad but I don't like the track record, just my thoughts.

Paddle bits or all the other options instead?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this same set. Bought it 3 Black Fridays ago IIRC. Back when they were in the "Ice Hardened" phase. They've been good. Not top of the market good, but they're well worth $40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olletsocmit Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 ok so after just watching about 5 dif video's it looks like regular hole saw's are just SLOW. no matter what the brand. the carbide ones look 10x faster but seem to really get jammed up since only 3 teeth and rough cut. i am super confused now about what to do. These look like the good ones... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look like the good ones... That's the jist of it. Hole saws are always my last option for making a hole. Whenever I have no choice in the matter, I constantly stop and clean out the teeth with a small wire brush. The carbide ones last longer, but they don't cut much better in my experience.

AnonymousJoe Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 From what I've read those are the good ones but u pay for it. I use hole saws often enough but not everyday so I'm happy with what I got for only $40. I don't see myself buying those big hawg hole saws but as the new diablo carbide tipped saws come out I can see myself buying those as replacements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olletsocmit Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I just learned that the carbide kit that comes with like 5 is is $160 online... I think i will be sticking with my $40 hole saw kit haha. These switch blade's are amazing too! but again over $100 for like 4 bits... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I might pick those up then, I have some store credit I can use too. I only have a couple different types of paddles, might need them eventually. I've got the drill press now too. i might make some more drill PVC holder for home since they're working well at the shop. Hole saws would be better than using my jigsaw to make the handle hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those self feed bits require a lot of torque so I said screw therm and have been using the big hawg ones only for quite awhile. Simply put, they spank the conventional bimetal style hole dozers! I use them all the time and they are amazing. They are not carbide tho, but rather hardened steel, and I'll be in a desperate situation for me to use the bimetal style again... @Conductor562 I must say in my experience they cut much better than bimetal ones. I used lenox for awhile before I found these big hawg.... Blew me away first time using them and I haven't looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl I've been eyeing the mspector but just haven't pulled the trigger I've found it for around $120 used but I'm just being patient for now, I don't need it at the moment but I dooo want it though I've been thinking this over and I think the display could have much better quality and would actually much prefer the phone operated boroscope if the image quality is close to that of the phones camera itself.... I say save your money and get the inexpensive one for your phone because looks like the image quality can't be beat for the price. Ave did a video and I really like the looks of the quality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Coffee deals at the HD today. That price for the OXX would be a little easier to stomach than 199. Didn't someone win one in an earlier monthly giveaway? I'd be curious to see what they thought.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
