Hole saw Makita D-47117 6 pcs

The Makita D-47117 6 pcs hole saw set provides a selection of saw sizes intended for cutting clean, accurate circular holes in a variety of common workshop materials. Designed for use with compatible drill drivers and arbor assemblies, this set is intended to deliver uniform results on wood, soft metals, plastics and composite panels. The saws feature teeth geometry and material suited to general-purpose trade and maintenance tasks where reproducible hole quality and reliable cutting performance are required.

Advantages

This 6-piece set offers a range of diameters to match different hole requirements without changing tools frequently. The construction balances cutting durability and ease of sharpening or replacement, helping to maintain consistent hole edges over repeated use. Blades are designed to clear chips efficiently and reduce heat buildup, which aids in maintaining cutting speed and minimizing material damage during operation.

Suitable for

• Installing door hardware and locksets
• Routing openings for pipes and conduits in walls and panels
• Creating pass-through holes for cables and wiring in furniture and enclosures
• General woodworking, light metalworking and plastic fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Set composition: six hole saws covering a range of commonly used diameters for building and maintenance work
• Material compatibility: suitable for wood, soft metals and plastics
• Design features: tooth geometry optimized for clean cutting and chip evacuation
• Intended mounting: for use with standard arbors and drill drivers that accept hole saw attachments
• Durability: engineered for repeated use in trade and workshop environments

How to use

Select the hole saw size appropriate to the required hole diameter and secure it to a compatible arbor according to the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling location and, where possible, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Begin drilling at low speed to establish the pilot hole, then increase to a controlled speed appropriate for the material. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the saw to cut without forcing. Periodically withdraw the saw to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. After cutting, remove burrs or sharp edges with a file or deburring tool as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves, and select drill speeds and feed pressure suitable for the material being cut. For metal work, use cutting lubricant to extend blade life and improve finish. Ensure the drill and arbor are securely fastened and run the tool within the manufacturer’s recommended operating limits.
