The 8% cobalt content in the M42 steel helps to increase the heat resistance and hardness of the arbor, leading to faster drilling speeds and a significantly longer product lifespan.
How do I attach a holesaw to the arbor?
Most holesaws have a specific mounting mechanism, often threaded or with a clamping screw, to securely attach to the arbor's base.
What type of drill is needed to use this arbor?
You will need a standard power drill with a chuck that can securely grip the hex shank of the arbor.

Troubleshooting
Holesaw not cutting accurately
Ensure the holesaw is properly secured to the arbor and the drill chuck is tightened firmly. Check if the holesaw teeth are sharp and undamaged.
Arbor slipping in drill chuck
Verify that the drill chuck is fully tightened around the hex shank of the arbor. Ensure the chuck jaws are clean and free from debris.
Excessive heat during drilling
Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the material being drilled. Reduce drilling speed and apply steady, consistent pressure.
Arbor binding or getting stuck
Clearance of debris from the cut is crucial. Apply steady pressure and avoid forcing the arbor. Consider using a lubricant.
