Seeing the “lifetime tooth break warranty” on the Milwaukee sparked an idea. Maybe you should follow up on some of these warranties to compare the customer service of brands.

[@komitadjie]

Just off the top of my head, I strongly suspect that the relatively poor rigidity of the drill press arrangement here without the mandrel might have significantly hurt the carbide-tipped saws. They're not good at all under loads that press off-axis and will tend to chip or fracture the carbide. I'd love to see those re-tested in a setup that does not allow so much side-slip! Perhaps a method for this could be pre-drilling a hole to guide it, and replacing the drill with a matched diameter piece of blank drill rod or something to guide in the pre-drilled hole. Great test, thanks, man! Fun to watch as always. :)

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

Yea I noticed the run-out too and it definitely isn’t ideal for carbide, but at the same time how many people using these are going to be mounting them in super rigid stuff like a mill?

[@zendell37]

@@Turbochargedtwelve I'm with you, testing the carbide the way it works best isn't a real world test, sort of making it pointless. Hell, I'm sure most hole saws are used in a powered hand drill, even if on thinner metals.

@@Turbochargedtwelve Not all that many, but that's one of the purposes of the mandrel, to keep the saw running in a single path, without a large amount of runout.

[@Brown-Bird]

Suggestion: testing and comparing ratchet straps. Brands like Powertye against your everyday husky and other common brands found at hardware stores.

[@GeoffCostanza]

That's a good idea. He could test the tensile strength, durability around sharp corners/tight bends, how well they hold up when lightly frayed, and resistance to UV/weathering/salt water/oil/grease/friction. I've also wondered how much twisting the band actually reduces its strength. I'm guessing that in some of the cheaper brands, the strap could outlast the ratchet and the hooks!

Best Channel on KZbin, by far. Right to the point with useful and unbiased testing. No annoying distractions like music, politics or wokeness either. I have actually been using Lenox hole saws and mandrels for many years. They work well, are reasonably priced and they are also readily available at Lowe's. Recently, I was away from home and needed a 3.5 inch hole saw in an emergency. I picked up a Hercules hole saw and Warrior mandrel at Harbor Freight. Both devices worked surprisingly well. Granted, probably not as well as the Lenox would have done, but pretty impressive none the less. I just wanted to pass on the information. Keep up the great work!

[@ProjectFarm]

When using your drill press I think you should raise your table so the spindle isn’t extended so far. It looked like that could have broken those really expensive one because of that wobble with how hard the carbide was

I think the stalling of the press is an issue when it comes to grading the drill times. Saws with fewer teeth have a higher chip load and require way more torque. The stalling adds time to their count. I bet they may have done better if the press didn't stall. I bet it probably slowed a decent amount too compared to the high tooth count saws. I always appreciate your videos and tests. Looking forward to future great content!

machinist checking in. real tungsten carbide shouldn't be touched by any of those vickers testers... tungsten carbide is around 2400 vickers, as compared to around 2000 for mohs 9 (corundum), around 5000 vickers for cubic boron nitride, and 10000 vickers for diamond (mohs 10). either the carbide had something on it which was being scratched like flux residue from brazing, or something very fishy was going on. the lack of rigidity in the drill press, and the feed/speed you used created a disadvantage for the carbide saws. carbide does not like to be run slowly. you're using a woodworking drill press for metalworking, and the results show it.

[@loslosbaby]

The runout on the drill press was way big, this increases the size of the hole and increases the friction during the cut due to scrubbing.

Bosch is quite good, bahco are good as well, made in Eastern Europe. 20mm 25mm and 32mm are the commonly used ones by electricians in the UK and Europe. Tapping spray is good to use, used carefully WD40 Is also good for hole saw use. The mandrills from bosch are good, and black and decker branded "piranha" 6mm metal drilling bits are good to start off a hole saw.. Have tried many of the expensive $30/$40 and $50 ones that have broken off cutting teeth on the first hole and the mandrill bit has gone loose.. For 6mm trunking nut hole drilling black and decker piranha are very good, dorma are good.
