Abstract
A cutting tool includes a hole saw, a pilot bit, and an arbor assembly. The assembly includes a shank having a first end and a second end. The first end of the shank is removably coupled to the hole saw and to the pilot bit, and the second end of the shank is configured to be coupled to a power tool. The assembly also includes a sleeve moveable along the shank and a first ball bearing disposed on the sleeve. The first ball bearing engages the hole saw to releasably secure the hole saw to the shank. The assembly includes a second ball bearing disposed on the shank. The second ball bearing engages the pilot bit to releasably secure the pilot bit to the shank. When the sleeve moves toward the second end of the shank, the first and second ball bearings disengage the hole saw and the pilot bit.
