Abstract
The hole saw assembly provides a structure and method for efficiently and securely connecting a hole saw to an arbor and easily connecting a pilot bit to the arbor. The arbor has a shank opposite the coupling end and a receiving slot proximate to the coupling end. The receiving slot is adapted to receive a mounting tag of the hole saw to couple the hole saw to the adapter body. The arbor also includes a selector sleeve slidably coupled to the body for movement between a first position allowing the receiving slot to receive the hole saw and a neutral position wherein the selector sleeve prevents removal of the hole saw mounting tab from the receiving slot.
