I want to cut a hole that is 50mm wide in 24mm wood.

I bought some cheap hole saw drills some time ago - they were dreadful!

Just wanted to know what I should go for?

I looked at screw fix.
I'm looking to spend £15 on a single drill.

Or, I saw this on Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000PJC73O
730 ratings of 4.5 review. Nothing to think about?
Or is it more like 700+ fake reviews from the Chinese? LOL

ebay - not sure I want to waste time/

Happy to go with screwfix - but having a full fit with a carry box is better.

Thanks.

Starrett, like most professional tool firms, supplies the arbors separately from the hole saws themselves. If you want a high quality HSS hole saw which comes ready mounted on the arbor look for Morse hole saws on eBay - some of them come ready mounted on an arbor with a pilot bit fitted. I have a couple in my toolbag for one particular job I do which requires 44 or 46mm holes to be drilled in flooring. They cost about £13 or £14 a pop plus postage, which is cheaper than buying Starrett. Cheap hole saw nests are alright for a few holes in shallow stuff, but they don't hack it on heavier tasks
