Product Description
One kit takes the place of dozens of hole saws while enabling fast dust free cutting exact size holes from 1-7/8" up to 6" inches in diameter. Kit includes high quality adjustable hole cutter, ball bearing mounted ABS shield with soft rubber gasket to trap dust and shavings, user replaceable sets of both High Speed Steel and Tungsten Carbide blades, hex wrenches, and sturdy carry case. Shield keeps cutter perpendicular to work surface and cutter has adjustment knob to limit the depth of cut when making holes in walls or ceilings to avoid accidentally cutting wires or pipes.
All parts precision machined, measure bar is chrome plated and marked in both inches and millimeters. ABS composite plastic shield is made from the same material as used in hocky helmets and is lightweight, strong, and will not discolor with age. Perfect for installing recessed lights, tubular skylights, in-ceiling speakers, ceiling fans, duct vents, or providing access holes for repairs.
Kit includes user replaceable High Speed Steel blades for cutting wood, MDF, Lexan and other plastics, acoustic tile, tongue and groove, laminates, and Tungsten Carbide blades for cutting sheetrock, plaster, cement or Hardi board, fiberglass, OSB, chipboard, plywood, and similar materials. Twin blades for faster cutting and perfect balance eliminate the need for balance bars which can break off inside other cutters.
Requires ¼ the torque of common hole saws so a smaller drill can be used and cordless drills can cut more holes before needed to be recharged. ½" cord drills that are rated for maximum hole saw size of 3-1/2 inches for wood can cut holes up to 12" in diameter in plywood using the Hole Pro hole cutter.
Like all Hole Pro Power Series kits the safety shield can be used with the Hole Pro XL-Arbor kit to enable the use of specialty hole cutters such as tungsten grit cutters when cutting tile or stone and have the same dust control and depth control as the adjustable hole cutters.

The X-148 goes up to 5-7/8" though I modified mine to get it to 6 inches. I have the X-230 and this one has a shorter bar and smaller shield but it otherwise identical to its bigger brothers. When I need a hole size larger than 4" my choices at the local hardware store are limited to a 4-1/2 (maybe) and a 5" and a 6" size. If I need 5-3/8 or some other odd size for can lights or soffet vents or floor receptacles the Hole Pro is a life saver. I have even used it with a cordless drill to cut holes in solid oak flooring for flush mount receptacles.Easy to use on sheetrock and plaster and with wood (though a little practice with a piece of scrap lumber is not a bad idea). High speed steel blades work better than the tungsten carbide for wood flooring but the kit comes with both kinds and changing them is quick.The XL arbor is a good addition for cutting through tile with a carbide grit hole saw. Shield makes for straight boring and no dust anywhere.
