A hole saw comprises a cup with two cutting teeth positioned on the open end of the cup. The two cutting teeth are substantially diametrically opposed to one another to provide a balanced cutting engagement of the media and are spaced apart by a chord length of between about 45 to about 180 degrees. A pair of secondary gullets are positioned in the cup proximate to a forward cutting edge of the two cutting teeth. The secondary gullets have a predetermined depth and shape along a longitudinal axis of the cup to suitably remove debris from the cup during a portion of the duration of the hole cut. A plurality of raker teeth may be positioned on the chords defining the spacing between the cutting teeth. The raker teeth are disposed below the cutting teeth, approximately 0.030 inches to engage and move cutting debris formed by the cutting teeth.
A hole saw comprising a cup with at least two cutting teeth positioned on the open end of the cup, said at least two cutting teeth disposed to provide balanced engagement of said cutting teeth to a work surface, one of said teeth having a cutting edge directed outward of the circumference of the cup and the one of said cutting teeth having a cutting edge directed inwardly of said circumference of said cup, said at least two teeth spaced apart by a chord of between about 45 to about 180 degrees, a plurality of raker teeth positioned on said chords between said cutting teeth, said raker teeth disposed below said cutting teeth to engage and move cutting debris formed by said cutting teeth, said cup defining secondary gullets positioned proximate to the cutting edge of said at least two cutting teeth, said gullets having a predetermined depth and shape along a longitudinal axis of said cup to remove debris from the cup during a portion of the duration of the hole cut.
A hole saw comprising a cup with at least two cutting teeth positioned on the open end of the cup, said at least two teeth spaced apart by a chord of between about 45 to about 180 degrees, a plurality of raker teeth positioned between said cutting teeth on a circumference portion of said open cup end as defined by said chord, said raker teeth disposed below said cutting teeth to engage and move cutting debris formed by said cutting teeth, said cup defining secondary gullets positioned proximate to the cutting edge of said at least two cutting teeth, said gullets having a predetermined depth and shape along a longitudinal axis of said cup to remove debris from the cup during a portion of the duration of the hole cut.
