For sheer speed nothing beats the new generation of hole cutters like the Milwaukee Big Hawg, Bosch Mulitpurpose, and Blue Boar Universal hole cutters. I can make a 4-5/8" hole through OSB using a 18v cordless drill and do so one heck of a lot faster than I could with an old fashioned self-feed bit. The multipurpose, Bosch and Blue Boar hole cutters will not only speed through wood but they cut through fiber cement siding, OSB, Wonderboard, Durock, fiberglass, plaster, and a lot of other materials where a conventional self-feed or bi-metal hole saw are stopped in their tracks. Once you try one of these new hole cutters you will not go back.

We rely on Milwuakee and Greenlee selfeed bits chucked in Milwaukee Hole Hawgs to drill rafters, joists and studs. On old work - we first do a look for any embedded steel/iron - and if it is impossible to avoid/extract a nail etc. we then might resort to a hole saw.
