What are the Parts of a hole saw?
Well I have a hole saw set with other drill bits but i have no clue on how to put the hole saw together… I have the Maxtech HSS74011MX 81 piece Drill & Drive Accessory set…
Well i have the actual Red Saw part (the circular thing) the drill bit that has a drill bit on one end then a bolt with a flat top and an edge between the flat top and bolt looking thing, then a couple threads…
http://twitpic.com/4eh8rr the saw also has 2 holes across from each other…
Thanks

unscrew the nut from the drill bit put the drill bit into the saw so the pointy end is sticking out of the cutting end of the saw then the threads should be sticking through the other side then you just screw the nut on and its ready to go

Thanks for the pic. This type of hole saw is an assembly in use, where you can change the actual hole-cutter with some other sizes. The drill, a somewhat shorter version of a regular drill, goes through an arbor, the thing with the big nut. The fat round washer with the allen set-screw, positions the arbor on the drill shaft. Starting with all loose parts, glomp the fat washer onto the drill shaft about half-way up and set it with the allen wrench, bring the arbor sleeve up from the bottom, slide on the hole saw itself from the bottom so the two flat parts of it’s hole match the arbor shaft, bring up the big nut from the bottom, and tighten the nut while keeping the drill shaft from rotating; two “crescent” or adjustable-end wrenches, one on the nut, and one on the flat sides of the drill bit work well.
The slots in the side of the hole saw are to help you pry out stuck material in the saw when you’ve finished drilling your hole

Sounds like your missing the Mandrel.
What woodworking tools to buy?
I’m getting into woodworking and I was wondering what I will need most importantly. I have a drill, bits, jig saw, sander, and screws/nails. What i was looking at is a table saw, miter saw, and a router. Also, would i need a circular saw if i have a miter saw and table saw?
Suggestion by Dusty
Check out Rockler Woodworking. They have everything you can imagine for wood working. A circular saw will make some cuts that can’t be made by the mitre or table saw. Another great tool is the Fein Multimaster it does all kinds of stuff; corner sander, profile sander, makes awkward cuts etc.

a man it depends how serious your going to get , sears has a home wood worker tool supply and discounts for club card members. Or you could go to your local grocery store and look in the magazine rack for woodworking . It is a very informative source of equipment and projects and blue prints to projects. Its out there if you dont have a computer go to your public library and use theirs. REMEMBER SAFTEY FIRST READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOOL USE , REMEMBER 10 IS BETTER THAN 7, GOOD LUCK

A circular saw is great for on the spot cutting. You need a good sized work table. Chisels, a rasp, a sanding block and papers. Steel wool – planer – keyhole saw – hacksaw – small hand saw – punch – socket set – allen wrenches – clamps – an “L” – 2 retractable measuring tapes – yard stick – chalk plum – pencils – scrapers – brushes – tack cloths – screwdrivers – vise – wood putty – wood glue – rubber cement – you sure you want to do this 
Compressor is nice – staple gun – hot glue gun – brads – (beer) 2 sized levels – a wonder bar ( not bra) shop vac ( use your wife’s she will kill you) a dust pan and brush, a scrap box, a small tool belt, work gloves 2 sets, safety glasses x2, tin snips, utility scissors, box cutter, tape (duct, masking, clear ) a degree in engineering and a psychiatrist.
I’m sure I’m forgetting important stuff like fine scrapers 12-inch ruler, and protractors, pliers mouse sander and belt sander and heat gun but that will get you started.
Seriously a small compressor is great for everything from nailing to scaring the dog to power washing the drive way to painting your creations, quick drying something inflating the kiddy pool and your tires.
Silly as it sounds all this stuff is very expensive and can literally cost thousands by the time your done.. Hit garage sales and thrift stores for tools that are still perfect.

I started the business over 55 years ago while going to school for medicine. I found out one thing, don’t skimp on prices. You can get tools cheap if you look around, remember “you get what you pay for” buy cheap, you get cheap.
You’ll never have enough of the “right” tools, buy as you go, what you “need” specialized tools like say, a excellent tool for a lathe can be purchased for $ 150.00 to $ 200.00 if. I say “if” your into the business and use it everyday. If, here’s that “if” again you only use it occasionally for a small job, get one a little cheaper that you don’t use as much. Always think of safety.
I make doll houses and extremely big bird houses patterned after real homes, some are big. I like designing them in the form of churches. I have tools for this purpose only. Why clutter up the basement with tools that I don’t need ? although they do come in handy at times.
