What is a hole saw?

Hole cutter, also known as the hole saw, refers to a special circular saw of sawing type for processing circular holes in modern industry or engineering, which is simple and flexible to operate, easy to carry, safe, and widely used. A hole saw is a cutting tool used to make round holes in various materials. Also known as a hole cutter, the tool consists of a cup-shaped metal cylinder with a toothed cutting edge at the open end, usually with a drill bit to center the hole and prevent the saw teeth from slipping. The maximum depth of the open hole is determined by the length of the hole saw the body.

Features of the hole saw

The hole saw can cut very hard materials, including hardened steel, cast iron, brick, etc. The carbon steel shaft is matched with a centering drill. Make the hole saw can be used for any professional common electric drill.

The hole saw is mounted on a common electric drill, it can easily cut round holes, square holes, triangular holes, straight lines and curves on any surface such as flat and spherical surfaces of various plates such as copper, iron, stainless steel and plexiglass.

Advantages of hole saws

The advantage of the hole saw is that the hole can be cut without cutting the core material. For relatively large holes (greater than 1"), this is preferable to twist or spade drills. They are also less expensive than drills. Disadvantages include the need for a drill bit capable of generating considerable torque at low speeds, the tendency to jam if clogged with dust, and the possibility of core plugs getting stuck in the hole saw.

The saw consists of a metal cylinder mounted on a mandrel, usually made of steel. The cutting edge is formed with serrated teeth or industrial diamonds set into the teeth. The arbor, also called the mandrel, is responsible for attaching the bit to drill the hole and holding the pilot bit in place. Angled slots in the cylinder wall help to bring out the dust. The kerf of the cut (defined as the distance between the split saw teeth) is designed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the rest of the hole saw so that it does not get stuck in the hole.

Classification of hole saws

A hole saw, also known as a hole saw or hole opener, support refers to the modern industry or engineering in the processing of circular holes in a sawing class of special circular saw, hole saw according to the different sizes of the circle has different hole diameters and specifications, while according to the different depths when opening the hole, we are divided into two categories of standard hole saw and deep load hole saw, as follows.

1. Hole saw material: according to his tooth material is divided into bimetal hole saw (hole saw), carbide hole saw (hole saw), diamond hole saw (hole saw), tungsten carbide hole saw, etc.

2. Hole saw cutting range: according to different materials, can cut and process metal materials, stainless steel, steel plate, iron plate, aluminum, copper plate, alloy plate, etc., but also in wood, wood with nails, plastic, chemical fiberglass, drywall, gypsum board, fiberboard and composite materials such as drilling and drilling holes.

3. Hole saw supporting equipment: hole saw (open hole saw) supporting equipment with power tools, generally hand drill, impact drill, table drill, rocker drill, drill press, etc., hole saw and power tools need a link device - support handle, also known as the drill bar, positioning drill, connecting shaft, etc.
