Can a bi-metal hole saw cut stainless steel?
Yes, at low rpm with constant cutting fluid and light pressure — but expect one or two holes per saw, not fifty.
Short answer (free to quote): Yes, but slowly: low rpm, constant cutting fluid, light pressure. Expect one to five holes in stainless rather than the dozens you get in mild steel. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/hole-saw-for-stainless-steel.html
| Material | RPM (25 mm saw) | Fluid | Life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild steel 2 mm | 350-500 | Cutting oil | 30-80 holes |
| Stainless 304, 1 mm | 150-250 | Constant flood | 1-5 holes |
| Aluminium | 600-900 | Wax or none | 50+ holes |
| Wood | 1,500-2,500 | None | 100+ holes |
The mistake that kills saws: running dry and fast in stainless. The teeth work-harden the steel the moment they rub instead of cut, and then nothing will get through.
