Speed - Hole saw

What speed should I set my drill to when using a 25mm hole saw?

Edited to say DOH! - should read your post better. Talking about hole saws, not drills.

Another good tip someone (Andy donut I think) put up a while back was to swap the drill for a piece of solid bar same diameter once your centre hole is through. It gives much better more solid location.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

as above, makes a world of difference, especially drilling grp. Though just use a normal drill on its own to make the guide hole rather than change the cutter over.

Yup. Much easier to replace the drill bit in the hole saw with a bit of rod then just drill a normal hole with a bit of the same size and swap the bit to the hole cutter.

For GRP you can go pretty damn quick with a hole saw If it starts smoking slow down a bit before you do the full Ray Mears impression.....

Thanks, I an making "A" arms.
What is the best way to index the pipe at the same plane - if I have drilled though the one side and set it up to drill the orher side that the 2 holes are going to be at the same angle. A bit difficult to explain, but if you made them before you will know what I mean.

Hi Kango

Lay the pipe in a piece of angle and use the edge of the angle to draw a straight line down the pipe with a marker

Cheers

The 90 deg cut went ok at 350 rps. The 38 Deg cut destroyed my brand new hole saw. So it is back to gring and fitting. Unfortunately no lathe.
