I bought this after cheaping out and cutting a few holes by hand. That was an absolute mistake. After that experience I'm so glad I bought this thing. The holes it makes are perfectly sized for 4" recessed lights, and this thing will chew through ceiling plaster like nobody's business. I've cut through a few 100 year old nails and this hole-saw still has many uses left.

I did buy a similarly sized traditional Milwaukee bi-metal hole-saw which I used for cutting through thick wood. I didn't want to totally use this up chewing through wood. I can run that hole-saw backwards on lath/plaster but it still doesn't make cuts as clean as this hole saw.

Soon I'll be using this on a plaster ceiling with metal mesh and I have no doubts that this hole saw will do a great job.

I have now been using this tool for about 2 years and with no regrets .
It cuts holes just as advertised and it makes your life so much easier.
Clean and nice looking work .

Been remodeling older homes from the 60"s that have a thin up to 1/8" plaster over the dry wall and it just kills toothed saws. This works like butter! Had to laugh when I told the electrician about it and he thought it was used and burnt up! He actually thought the blades had melted. Then he tried it and SOLD!

Works great lasts for many holes. Thru fiber cement or cement backer board worked great on plaster and blue board

Used this for installing recessed LEDs in a new Hardie Board (concrete composite) soffit. Use a slow speed, don't try to hurry it by applying too much pressure, it cuts quite well as it is. It helps to "rock" the blade slightly around the perimeter as you cut, and ease up when you feel it start to break through... and WEAR A MASK! This makes a lot of silica dust when cutting through concrete.

Or better yet, if you cut a lot of holes to cut buy the Hole Pro Shield kit to collect the dust. That's what I ended up doing.

I purchased this after ruining a cheaper one. I used this to install a dozen recessed lights in plaster ceilings. do not use to cut the wood lathe but it will cut through the old plaster without dulling. Still works well after many uses.
