Default Can I use a diamond hole saw on wood?

I need to cut a 3/4" hole in a piece of engineered flooring. The hole needs
to have very clean and sharp edges.

Harbor Freight sells a diamond hole saw set for 6.99 (# 32399). Will a
diamond hole saw make clean cuts in wood, or will it chew up the edges of
the hole?

Is there anything that would work better than a diamond hole saw? An auger
bit or a Forstner bit?

Thanks


Use a good Forstner. It cuts and won't walk on you. The diamond hole saw
just grinds and will burn your hole, that's if it gets through the
flooring before smoking you out.
