Starrett Tungsten Carbide Tipped Hole Saw SM17 Sheet Metal Cutter With Arbor & Pilot Drill Bit For Drilling Stainless Steel Aluminum Alloy 17MM

The SM TCT Hole Saw is engineered for precision and durability, making it an ideal choice for production cutting of high alloy and stainless steels, non-ferrous light metals, and reinforced fabrics. This hole saw is distinguished by its tough tungsten carbide tipped teeth, which are designed with a positive cutting angle. This unique feature enhances cutting performance by providing fast and efficient removal of chips and swarf, thereby maintaining high cutting accuracy.

One of the standout features of the SM TCT Hole Saw is its exceptional design. It incorporates a split-point drill that allows for faster penetration, ensuring that the cutter remains on target and effectively prevents wandering during use. The inclusion of an ejector spring facilitates easy core removal, streamlining the cutting process.

Durability is a hallmark of the SM TCT Hole Saw. The tungsten carbide tipped teeth are engineered with a positive rake, contributing to the cutter's superb product life and cutting efficiency. A shallow gullet design further bolsters tooth strength, with an impressive configuration of four teeth per 25mm (inch). This thoughtfully designed construction allows the saw to withstand rigorous usage in various applications.

Safety is a crucial aspect of the SM TCT Hole Saw's design. It features a safety stop at the base that prevents drilling beyond the maximum cutting depth of 13mm (1/2"), thereby minimizing the risk of accidents and potential damage to work surfaces. This feature ensures peace of mind for users, allowing them to focus on achieving precise cuts.

The hole saw is characterized by its heavy-duty performance, demonstrating high hardness and resistance to rust, making it a sturdy and durable tool ideal for power tools with limited speed control. The complete assembly of the SM TCT Hole Saw includes an arbor and pilot drill, eliminating the need for additional purchases of separate components. Replacement pilot drills are readily available, ensuring that users can maintain their tools with ease.

Available in various diameters, the SM TCT Hole Saw covers many of the most popular hole saw sizes on the market. This versatility enables users to tackle a wide range of projects effectively. Whether for industrial or personal use, the SM TCT Hole Saw promises efficiency and exceptional results, empowering users to achieve their cutting goals with confidence.
