I recently built a cornhole game from plans that used all quality materials. When it came time to cut the large holes, I really butchered them with a jigsaw. I went to Home Depot looking for a solution and they showed me a 6" hole saw, but it was $40. I went back home to ponder a solution to my dilemma when I realized that I had cut my holes less than 6" so I still had hope. Google helped me find the Eazy Power 6" Hole saw for just over half of Home Depot's price so I immediately ordered it. I cut 7" squares of very thin plywood and screwed them over the previously cut holes and located the exact centers to have a starting point for the hole saw. When the Eazy Cut saw arrived (VERY quick shipping) I was impressed with how solid it felt and immediately attached it to my 18 volt cordless DeWalt drill and went to work. Previous reviewers had warned me to be patient, but it soon became apparent that my 10+ year old cordless drill was overworked so I switched to a corded 1/2" drill. It was much more difficult than I expected, but patience did pay off and I had 2 PERFECT 6" holes that matched the quality of the set. A little sandpaper and paint completed the job. It is rare to get price, quality and GREAT customer service (super-quick shipping) all in one place. My compliments (and thanks) to Eazy Cut. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

2.) With caution you can cut a 6" hole

I had no idea what constituted a cornhole saw. I needed to cut a 6" hole in 3/8" plywood. I used a variable speed 1/2" corded electric hand drill. When drilling, be certain the stock you're drilling is very stationary. I put a heavy piece of scrap wood under the 3/8" plywood and nailed it all to a plank, upon which I stood to prevent spinning or shifting.

If you have a router, a circle guide will also work very well.

Advertised as a hole saw for cornhole/bean bag boards, and that is what I used it for. Works well, and is much easier than trying to cut a circle with a jigsaw. Great value since a 6" hole saw elsewhere is much more expensive. I've only used it to cut plywood, so no idea how it would work with hardwood or masonry or metal.

4.) Perfect for cornhole

I bought this solely for making cornhole boards and it worked great drilled fine with my cheap ryobi cordless drill. Looked at local hardware stores others I saw were $60 plus. I would recommend this for occasional use, but probably not for plumbers or contractors.

I clamped my plywood to the work bench top and used a corded drill going slowly as previous reviews said creating a perfect hole every time I have used it making worth every penny

Great hole saw with just a couple of caveats, saw is only deep enough for 1" material and you need a 1/2" drill to power that big a hole saw.

The product seems to be aok for using it a few times but once you use it many times the arbor starts to bend.

Product works well.
I used it on 1/2" plywood, using a 19.2V 1/2" chuck drill.
Make sure the object being drilled is secured. I was cutting holes in a larger board, so I was able to kneel on the board, which held it.
Make a deep accurate starter point, and let the hole saw do the work.
Do not press very hard or the hole saw will bind. Have patience, the job will get done.
I saved the 6" cut out plugs and my 2 young grandsons loved playing with them. :-)

11.) Struggled with fiberglass

Purchased to make 2 holes for speaker install on boat. Material was 3/4" thick, fiberglass on top of marine grade plywood. It took 20 minutes to get a third of the way through using a 3/8" drill (couldn't apply much pressure). It made a nice groove in the fiberglass, ended up using a jig saw to cut through the rest of the way (repeated the process for the second speaker). My guess is that I would have had trouble with most hole saws, just be mindful if material your drilling through is dense (think about using a more powerful drill and upgraded hole saw).

12.) What I expected for the price

I bought this for making a few cornhole sets. With patience the saw did a fine job cutting the holes. I can also see that about 20 cuts is going to be the limit. If you only need a few cuts this is the right saw for the money otherwise you might want to pay the extra money.

13.) Circular logic
Reviewed by: Carlo Ruth Seattle WA

FYI these large circular saws create alot of friction or drag or what have you, so you need a pretty powerful drill, probably 18 volts at least. And even so, be careful and go slow b/c if you go to fast the saw will catch and the drill will spin out. I had a 12 volt, so i rented the super-powerful drills from Home Depot, and when the saw caught, it twisted my wrist pretty bad and spun around and whacked my hand so hard it felt like it got slammed in a car door. I couldn't right-click a mouse for almost two weeks... so I should probably stay away from professional grade power tools...

This is the first time I had ordered from Amazon and everything went fine and was shipped fairly quickly.And no damage.I have not used this item yet but it looks sturdy.That is why I did not rate this any higher but gave it a average rating.

15.) good for light duty use in thin materials
Reviewed by: Bryan Sanders Chicago

If all you need is a hole that is exactly 6 inches in diameter and less than an inch deep and don't plan on making a lot of holes and don't mind a lot of mess this is a good tool to buy. With any continuous teeth hole saw like this there is a lot of friction and a lot of torque is needed from the drill. The most powerful hand drill you can buy from DeWalt or Milwaukee (like their 16 pound Super Hawg 1/2" cord stud drill) will work with at most a 6" hole saw in wood. With softer materials a less powerful drill may work.

If I was doing lots of holes I would give serious thought to buying a Hole Pro XL Shield for hole saws to control the dust. It works with any hole saw including the carbide grit ones for light cans or cutting holes in ceramic tile.

Hole Pro XL Shield Kit

XL-Arbor Kit - Use any hole saw up to 2-1/2" deep and any Hole Pro shield including XL-Shield kit, X and CL Adjustable Hole Cutters. XL Arbor adjusts for cutting depth control and insures perfect straight cuts while ABS Shield captures 100% of dust

Anyone planning on cutting lots of holes and maybe worried about accidentally cutting wiring or plumbing or needing a size other than 6" the Hole Pro adjustable hole cutter kits are a good investment. The Hole Pro X-230 for instance cuts any size hole from 2" up to 9" and is infinitely adjustable. Need a cutout that is 4-3/8, 6-3/8, 6-5/8, 6-7/8, 7-1/4, or any other common can light size and it will do the trick. The Hole Pro shield catches all the dust and makes a perfect straight in cut so the grill or trim ring sits flush and it has a great adjustment feature so you can set the depth you want to cut and have it stop, just like a drill press but portable.

Hole Pro X-230 Kit: 1-7/8" to 9" and all fractional sizes in between. Infinitely Adjustable Cutter with Twin Tungsten Carbide Blades needs ¼ drill power of a hole saw to quickly cut Plywood Sheetrock Plaster Fiberglass OSB Plastic MDF Hardie Board

The Hole Pro works great cutting soft acoustic ceiling tile and tongue and groove wood ceilings and sheetrock and plaster and Hardie cement board, and backer board, and MDF, and fiberglass, and Formica, and plastics, and oriented strand board, and particle board, and the blades are replaceable at $12 for a set of high speed steel blades and $18 for a set of tungsten carbide blades.
