I was lucky enough to be sent a Ff holesaw to test by Shaun from kitchen fitters tools.

http://kitchenfitterstools.co.uk/index. ... ucts_id=13

I have had the holesaw for a few weeks and today I had the opportunity to test it out. I have made a youtube video of the test, which I did alongside a new Bosch bi-metallic holesaw of a similar size.


The holesaw wiped the floor with the Bosch model in both a laminate plank and a piece of flooring grade chipboard. These holesaws are very impressive

I'll post the video when I have uploaded it

looking forward to the vid, hopefully he will get more sizes made up

Might be a few days. I'm in the middle of uploading one now and it takes about 5-12 hours per upload

They are very good though

Not having much success uploading this video.

I have tried three times now and it takes over 8 hours each time. The first two times failed and the last time it worked, but the sound went off after 5 mins

My holesaws are made by Morse an American company. damn good cutters. They also provide Sterrat.

Well over a hundred quid for the set I have but it ranges from small to large 100mm diameter plus cutters.

The FF one is really impressive. I can't wait for the video to upload to youtube, but I have tried it 4 times now and all 4 have failed.

I have seven videos waiting to be uploaded, but I can't upload at the minute

I have tried IE and firefox but with no success

I'm downloading Safari right now, to see if that works.

Youtube help is useless, you might as well just go and ask a drunk in the street that has never even seen a computer

I doubt if a drunken street bum will be much good especially if he knows nothing about computers, so don't bother with that one.

It uploaded finally using safari

cuts alot better, having the gaps for sawdust helps,

can you sharpen the teeth like a circular saw?

That looks a good bit of kit.

I have always found hole saws blunt quickly and I think this is due to the blade building up a lot of heat and clogging with dust. These problems are apparently not encountered in the test cutter as the waste is chips rather than dust and there are big channels to aid clearance and cooling. The small number of cutters on the block is the key and it looks relatively easy to hone them when needed.

Watching Chez saw away wit the standard hole saw made me laugh as I have been there so many times

At £20 it is a bit pricey compared to the boot sale £6 hole saw kits with a range of sizes so I guess it depends on how often you want the waste size hole cutter?

Good vid

DWD

They look the biz,maybe he can send you uhm a worktop jig a router and some bits to test out and a nice bit of advertising for him also.Looking at his site his prices are very reasonable.

I would imagine so, but KK will probably answer when he logs on as he will know for certain.

I have not used a hole saw on chipboard for years and could not believe how hard it was with the normal Bi-metal hole saw. The drill used was a Dewalt 18v and it is pretty powerful, and I was pressing on hard!

I agree that the bit is a bit pricey, but if you compare it to a Bosch hole saw with a arbour it is roughly the same price and I know which one I would rather use

For a professional user they have to be the hole saw of choice as they would save lots of time and hard work. Shaun told me that when using the 25mm cutter you can go through a work top in 2 seconds, which is really impressive.

Thanks DWD

Shaun has supplied me with a box full of items to test, he sent them in December, but I have been too busy to test anything.

He sent me three router cutters which I will not use and so I gave one to a guy at work to test as he does a lot of routing and then I passed the other two onto forum members to try out.

The guy at work was impressed with his and he said it worked a treat

I have tried the cobalt drills and made a video, which I'll probably upload tonight.

I'll test out the rest of the gear when I get chance, but it has all been top quality gear so far
