Jonathan;

I found it.

www.holepro.com.

Very nice, very expensive for a hole saw. I have need to saw out a
bunch of round ends to tack into cardboard tubing, something like this
will do the trick. However, after looking at your post last night, I
decided to settle for the $7.00 version like that one! I'll see how it
works.

I sawed through the metal in the engine compartment of my diesel easily
with a big old bi-metal craftsman hole saw. Anyone looking to saw holes
in metal should look into those. Use with a little oil.
