DEWALT DWAFV02916 FLEXVOLT Carbide Wood Hole Saw Blade Review

The DEWALT DWAFV02916 FLEXVOLT Carbide Wood Hole Saw Blade has received positive reviews from customers who have used it for a variety of applications. One customer used it to drill holes in a 130 year old yellow pine joist that was hardened by time and sistered to a more recent vintage Doug fir. They reported that the hole saw made quick work of the tough job and saved them a significant amount of time. Another customer used the blade to drill through laminated beams, and was impressed with how well it held up to abuse. The blade features three aggressive looking teeth with good clearance from the body, and three large chip gullets that open all the way to the tooth end, which helps to prevent clogging with sawdust and resin. The blade's deep cutting depth of 2-5/16 inches requires an extended pilot bit, but allows for efficient drilling. One downside of the blade is that the metal frame is somewhat light and can deform when hitting a nail or knot, but this can be remedied with gentle shaping with a pair of pliers. Overall, the DEWALT DWAFV02916 FLEXVOLT Carbide Wood Hole Saw Blade is a highly effective tool that can make quick work of tough drilling jobs with minimal effort.
