Overview
Bimetal Hole Saw 18 mm HSS M42 with Centre Drill and Spring Orange for Holes in Metal, Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Wood

The bimetal hole saw with a diameter of 18 mm is designed for cutting precise circular holes in metal sheets, stainless steel, iron, aluminium, and wood. The cutting part is made of high-speed steel HSS with M42 teeth, which can handle harder materials. The saw has pronounced sharp teeth with large gaps that remove chips from the cutting area. The 18 mm diameter is appreciated when installing grommets, routing hoses, or modifying cabinets and covers where a clean edge of the hole is essential. The hole saw can be clamped into a standard drill or cordless screwdriver with a chuck.

In the centre of the saw is a guiding drill with a spring, which first drills the centre and then keeps the hole saw in precise position to prevent it from slipping on the surface at the start. The spring around the drill helps to push the cut disc of material out of the saw once the cut is complete. The shank is a fixed part of the saw at this size, eliminating the need for assembly, and the hole saw is ready to use immediately after unpacking. There is a longitudinal hole in the casing of the saw, which can be used to easily pry out any stuck piece of material. The orange finish protects the saw and makes it easier to find in a toolbox.

Before drilling, mark the centre of the hole with a centre punch or pencil, and the guiding drill will easily find the correct spot. It is advisable to firmly clamp or hold the workpiece to prevent it from rotating during the cut. When drilling into metal, use lower speeds and consistent pressure to avoid overheating the teeth. Higher speeds can be used for wood and plastic than for metal. For steel and stainless steel, it is advisable to continuously cool the cutting area with cutting oil or emulsion. For thicker materials, it is good to occasionally interrupt the cut to remove chips and then continue. After use, clean the saw of chips and dust and store it in a dry place to keep the teeth sharp for as long as possible.

The 18 mm hole saw is a simple way to achieve a clean and precise hole without the laborious process of cutting with a saw or drilling with multiple bits. The teeth with M42 teeth can handle both sheet metal and wood, and the guiding drill keeps the saw in place from the very first moment. Due to its bimetal construction, which is flexible and durable, the saw can be used repeatedly on various materials. It is suitable for home workshops and installations where several identical holes need to be made quickly. Just clamp it into the drill, and you can start drilling.
