    I want to drill a hole in my saws

    I hang my veritas saws using magnets (I stack them) with holed in them for the screw They stick out enough so the handle doesn't hit the wall. The magnets (I use a pair) touch the back bar and prevent the saw slipping off. Has never failed and was very cheap. PS I didn't use earth rare...
