Overview
Bimetal Hole Saw 40 mm HSS M42 Metal Hole Cutter with Shank and Pilot Drill Orange For Holes in Aluminium Stainless Steel and Wood

The bimetal hole cutter with a diameter of 40 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 tooth design, which can handle harder materials. The hole saw features prominent sharp teeth with large gaps that remove chips from the cutting area. The 40 mm diameter is suitable for the passage of water and waste pipes, ventilation holes, or cable glands in worktops. The hole cutter can be fitted into a standard drill or cordless screwdriver with a chuck.

In the centre of the hole saw is a pilot drill with a spring, which first drills the centre and then keeps the hole cutter in the precise position to prevent it from slipping on the surface at the start. The spring around the drill helps to eject the cut disc of material from the hole saw after the cut is complete. The hole cutter is supplied assembled with a shank and pilot drill, so it only needs to be clamped into the drill chuck after unpacking. The orange surface finish protects the hole saw and makes it easier to find in a tool case.

Before drilling, mark the centre of the hole with a punch or pencil, then the pilot drill will easily find the correct spot. It is advisable to securely 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, remove chips, and then continue. After use, clean the hole saw of chips and dust and store it in a dry place to keep the teeth sharp for as long as possible.

The 40 mm hole cutter is a simple way to achieve a clean and precise hole without the laborious process of cutting with a saw or drilling with multiple drills. The teeth with M42 tooth design handle both sheet metal and wood, and the pilot drill keeps the hole saw in place from the very first moment. Thanks to its bimetal construction being flexible and durable, the hole saw can be used repeatedly on various materials. It is suitable for any workshop that works with sheet metal, profiles, or furniture boards and needs a 40 mm hole. Just clamp it into the drill and you can start drilling.
