Description

38mm Steel Hole Saw

Hole saws are cylindrical cups with a serrated edge to cut various sizes of holes in a variety of materials. The serrated edge cuts the hole. You can use an arbor or drill chuck on the other edge. There is a wide variety of hole saws available in the marketplace. From inexpensive carbon steel hole saws to extremely specialized, application driven hole saws. The most commonly used saw, however, is the bi-metal hole saw. Most users prefer a bi-metal hole saw for the majority of their work. That is because it is compatible with a wide variety of materials. It also cuts faster and smoother and with reduced vibration due to the variable pitched teeth.

What Is a Hole Saw?

Hole saws have two different types of steel joined together to form the cutting end of the hole saw. One joins high speed steel and soft spring steel to form a durable edge that will cut a multitude of materials. This will also help provide long life. The outer edge is made of high speed steel. This is due to its wear resistance properties and forms the cutting edge of the teeth. Soft, spring steel creates a flexible backing material. This allows the hole saw to absorb impacts of the job of drilling holes in difficult-to-cut materials.

A good bi-metal hole saw will easily cut through softer materials, such as plastic and wood-based items, as well as harder materials, such as steel and stainless steel. The type of high speed steel chosen by the hole saw manufacturer will contribute greatly to the performance of the hole saw.
