Can you recommend a specific hole saw that is compatible with this tool. Preferably one that doesn't require an adapter. Thank you

Thank you for your question. The PS21 is not designed for use with hole saws, it does not have enough power. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

I think you are asking for trouble if you try to use any hand drill to drill a hole of this diameter. It's not safe. I have drilled 1" (nominal thickness; 3/4" actual thickness) red oak using this Makita drill using both a 3" diameter brad point Forstener bit with a sawtooth edge and a 3" diameter drill bit piloted saw blade style hole saw and found it to be a very risky procedure (think sudden unexpected kick back of the drill). I had already assembled the project to the point where I could not place the piece to be drilled on my drill press. Were I to need to do this again, I would plan the project so that the hole could be drilled on my drill press with the piece securely fastened to the table with C-clamps. I don't know how precise your holes need to be but with this diameter hole, you might try using a hand held jig saw and cutting the hole freehand or a jig saw with a guide that allows you to cut holes attaching the saw guide to the workpiece with a pivot point (finishing nail or brad which you later remove). An old-fashioned, hand-powered coping saw is also an inexpensive, safe and easy way of cutting large diameter holes but you need to consider the saw's throat depth in relation to hole placement and width of stock. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

The hole in the middle is slightly less than 1/2 inch and is made specifically for the Dremel SawMax. To fit any other Dremel tools I'm fairly certain you would have to have an arbor adapter. My advise is to check with Dremel Customer Service.

You need to use a normal 3/8 inch drill. The mandrel has a cap that fits over the hole cutting saw and then put it in the drill. Check with someone who is a carpenter with you rdrill set.

I have the tool with the 1/4 impact socket head. If you need to "drill" in very tight spaces, the impact head version may be too large to fit as either an adapter or special drill bits (with 1/4 socket adaption) are required. As others have said, base the decision on what YOUR primary use will be. That said, I may get this version, also. I like the various Makita tools and have several 1.5 and 3.0 batteries.

Hi Frank, I purchased this as a gift for my husband and I had to purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling .I got both at Amazon and got a great deal .My uncle told me about this drill set,because he also has the same one .My husband love his set. So do I. They both won't leave the house with out theirs drill when working on their projects. I did get and extra battery that why you always have a charge. Frank I hope this was helpful.

I'm not familiar with that unit, I know bosch sells a universal adapter ( Home Depot) but caution cause it doesn't work on all saw blades. I tried a dremel blade with it on my Fein saw and it did not fit

Your questioned was forwarded to me; unfortunately I do not have a definite answer. Keep in mind that the chuck thread size (where it screws onto the tool) matches the thread size of the Dremel. You could always stop in at a Lowe's or Home Depot to compare them (those stores both carry DeWalt and Dremel). I have also looked up the manufacturer's instruction booklet online in the past. Quite often the manufacturer will do a breakdown drawing of the equipment in the instructions so consumers know how to use the tools (i.e. the chuck wrench of Alan wrench that come with the unit). I hope this helps.

I used a roto zip/ dremal type saw. Use threaded side as template and draw ring around it. Maver 1/2" hole to allow nipple thru. Hole saw diameters were just too big, or too small.

Don't abuse your high speed (low torque) tool with such a large bit. Use a drill for more power. They don't make an adapter to fit such a large shaft. (The Dremel chuck accessory fits perfectly and I recommend it but it doesn't fit larger than 1/8" either.)

I ordered the recommended Makita Oil but I think the hole is to small and gets clogged by the saw dust.

Mine did not come with a drive adapter. I don't think it does. I already had the square drive nut from my flex shaft, so I didn't think about it not coming with one. The instructions are a bit deceiving, as it seems to assume you already have the proper adapter, but I don't see where it states that it comes with the mini saw.The screw was in place already. Had to unscrew to install blade.

I have a dewalt drill but I think any drill will work. The drill brush is just an attachment like any other. I would try your drill first, I don't see it bring a problem.

Hi, my husband says if it fits in the hole attachment, he doesn't see why it would not work. He has not tried to use other brand attachments though. Maybe call and ask for sure at a home improvement store.

i use a dewalt cordless drill, (any cordless drill will do ( just as long as ithe chuck size is: either 3/8" or 1/2". i use it mainly putting in grass plugs. works great. just control the speed because it really digs fast. greg
