Unfortunately I had to sell off most of my electric setup due to a life event, child birth and unexpected job loss in the same month.. I will be back in the game once we are back on our feet though..
I did keep a couple items which I did not want to re-purchase again.
I have the Home Depot Spa Panel.. I wanted to cut it to fit an outlet inside it like this:
(Not my picture, but I am trying to do this)
So I bought a 2-1/8" Bi-Metal hole saw a home depot as well, I think its a Milwaukee brand, which I expected to be good.
I used a drill press to cut the hole and I NEVER had an issue before cutting holes in metal. This time the saw cut though the paint of the metal and then nothing, it wouldnt budge at all, just kept spinning, not a single flake of metal came off.. I when applying to much force it would stall the bit, but again never had an issue before cutting metal with a bi-metal saw.
Is there such a thing as a defective hole saw?? Anyone know what would cause me NOT to be able to cut though this thin piece of metal?? I cut my entire control box with Milwaukee brand hole saws and never had an issue.. But the one and only time I used this 2-1/8" saw I got ZERO results..
