bi-metal holesaws wont dull after 2 cuts when used correctly. Apply some tapping fluid to the teeth before you cut case metal and the saw will last a good long time. I have holesaws that I used to cut case steel, plate steel, steel bar, and tempered aluminum, and they arent dull at all. For thin metals I used tapping fluid to coat the teeth. For thicker metals I used dark cutting fluid. All of this is available at home depot / lowes / mom and pop hardware.
OK, I thought he was referring to normal use, and I had planned on getting some tapping oil when I went to lowes yesterday but I forgot, I guess I'll try to find a 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 .
