Hole Saw Reccomendations

hrobinson57 · 26th Apr 2006, 12:51 PM

I mod cases a bit, and need general input/advice. I've tried Milwaukee bi metal hole saws in the 80/90/120mm range, but they burn out real quick. I can only get 4 maybe 5 holes out of them. I'm just using my trustee 3/8 portable drill. Adding a few drops of light general purpose oil doesn't seem to help. I am mostly chopping away at old steel ATX cases that weren't designed for the heat of modern systems. I found another brand "Morse" has anyone any feed back on them? Any help or tips would be appreciated.Thanks

I get them online. I guess the sizes modders would want are not popular with plumbers/electricians who use them a lot. I just google hole saws, and get at the cheapest. Amazon tools had the 80/90/92mm cheap last time I looked. They are a great way to get exact holes quickly, but you have to clamp case down because they can buck.
