Hole saws
Just wondered if any one has bought or used these HOLE SAWS?
All I will be using them for is cutting the holes for my switches.
The dash is carbon if that makes any difference.
All opinions welcome

Do a search on here for Hole Saws and you will see other people's opinions!
I would just get Starret Hole Saw's from ebay if I were you - they will be dearer, but you will hav them forever (or a very long time as long as
you look after them), if you just buy the sizes you need it won't cost millions...
Sorry if it wasn't the answer you wanted.

I cut mine with them. Shouldn't be a problem.

If you are only doing the dash then no probs, I used simular, why buy good quality long life one's for a one off use.
Mask off the area with tape, slow drill speed and make sure the dash is firmly clamped down.

step drills rock, it's one of my favourite tools 
I had an identical set of holesaws at work. On the plus side they lasted for several years, until they got nicked out of my van. Much better than the
really flimsy split types. However the hardest thing they ever got used on was MDF, and even that wasn't much fun, they'd burn through
rather than cut.
I'm slowly building up a set of nice Bosch progressor saws now, they're world apart tbh

I recently used one of these :-
erbauer holesaws
.....which cut through a piece of 6mm steel plate with no problem, much to my surprise

Thanks for all the replys.
The reason I need the set is for the 22mm and 32mm (for the large start switch)
They are just for doing the dash so I think i'll give them a shot.
