An improved hole (8) saw for cutting holes having a cylindrical shape that includes, along its cutting edge (12), a plurality of repetitive groups of saw teeth having at least four radially displaced trailing teeth (22-25). The displacement of each trailing tooth (e.g. 24, 25) is such that it has a substantially greater displacement than for any other tooth (e.g. 22, 23) of said group preceding said trailing tooth. The displacement of each tooth being such that the cutting edge thereof is characterized as being movable along a cutting path different from the cutting paths of the other teeth of the group as the hole saw is rotated whereby each tooth cuts chips of uniform size. Each group of teeth may include a raker tooth (21) having no substantial displacement with respect to the side surfaces of (11, 15) the hole saw (8). The raker tooth (21) maybe the same height or of greater height than the trailing teeth (22-25). |
