Bosch PRO Sheet Metal Power Change Plus 35 mm Hole Saw for Steel
Product description
HSS teeth with 8% cobalt are designed to cut sheet metal, giving this 35 mm hole saw a clear role in metalworking jobs such as making openings for pipes. It is intended for steel and stainless steel sheets, including automotive steel and steel cladding.
The saw is made for use with Bosch’s Power Change Plus keyless arbor, which is described as offering accuracy and robustness. That means the arbor is part of the setup to account for when choosing this accessory.
Bosch says it lasts up to twice as long as a standard HSS M3 hole saw. That comparison may matter if you are choosing between this saw and a more basic HSS option for repeated sheet-metal work.
Usage tips
Pair the hole saw with a Bosch Power Change Plus keyless arbor, the product information does not say that the arbor is included. The supplied cutter is 35 mm, so match that diameter to the opening required before starting work. For example, it is intended for cutting a pipe opening in steel cladding or a stainless steel sheet.
The body is described as hardwearing, and an ejection spring helps remove the cut-out plug. That can be useful when clearing material between cuts. What matters most is matching the saw to the material and the required hole size, rather than treating it as a general-purpose cutter.
Where it shines
This accessory is aimed at people cutting holes in sheet metal, including metalworkers and coachbuilders. It is relevant for jobs involving automotive steel, steel cladding or stainless steel sheets, where a standard drill bit is not the same tool as a hole saw for producing a larger opening.
It makes sense if you need a 35 mm cut in sheet metal and already have, or plan to use, the specified Power Change Plus arbor. For occasional work, a simpler or more general-purpose setup may be enough, this product’s stated strengths are its metal-cutting focus and its comparison with a standard HSS M3 hole saw, not a broad range of uses.
Highlights
The cutting teeth are made from high-speed steel with 8% cobalt. Bosch presents this material as contributing to sharpness and durability, and states that the saw can last up to twice as long as a standard HSS M3 hole saw. Treat that as a stated comparison rather than a guarantee for every material or working condition.
The format is straightforward: one 35 mm hole saw for sheet metal, with an ejection spring to help clear the plug. You may want to skip it if your intended work is not cutting sheet metal, as the supplied details focus on that application. If you prioritise a cutter for other materials or a different hole diameter, this specific variant may not match the job.
Before you decide
What materials is this hole saw intended for? It is described for steel sheets and stainless steel sheets, including automotive steel and steel cladding.
What size hole does it cut? The supplied PRO Sheet Metal hole saw is 35 mm in diameter.
Does it include the arbor? The stated setup is the Bosch Power Change Plus keyless arbor, but the listed scope of delivery names the hole saw only. Check that your setup includes the required arbor before planning the job.
Is it worth it?
This Bosch hole saw is a focused choice for repeated or planned sheet-metal work where a 35 mm opening is required. Its cobalt HSS teeth, ejection spring and stated lifespan comparison with a standard HSS M3 saw give it a more specific case than a basic drill bit or an unfocused accessory purchase. The main decision is whether its diameter and required arbor suit the job: choose it for the listed sheet metals and compatible setup, rather than for an unspecified range of materials or hole sizes.
