Troubleshooting
Holesaw is not cutting.
Check the material compatibility. Ensure you're using the correct speed and pressure. Check the sharpness of the saw and replace if necessary.
Holesaw is wearing out quickly.
Use cutting oil or lubricant. Reduce the cutting speed. Apply even pressure without forcing the saw.
Hole is not round or precise.
Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the material. Use a pilot hole to guide the holesaw. Check the material for any obstruction.
