flintronic Bi-Metal Hole Saw 60 mm for metal, wood 🔧
Description:
This bi-metal hole saw cutter of 60mm makes neat circular cuts in soft metal, wood, PVC board and plastic, helping when you need a clean aperture for pipework, handles or electrical fittings. Its design focuses on durability and a non-binding cutting edge so drilling stays smoother and the cut-out is easier to eject.
Key Points
The cutter features high-speed steel teeth on a heat-treated M42 bimetal strip, which the manufacturer states improves resistance to tooth damage and extends life when cutting a mix of metal and softer materials. It is suitable for use with bench drills, drill presses and various hand drills, which gives flexibility for workshop and on-site tasks. For user convenience the built-in spring assists in ejecting the waste disc after drilling, reducing the need for prying and making repetitive jobs faster. 🛠️
Technical Specifications
- Name: flintronic Bi-Metal Hole Saw 60mm
- Diameter: 60 mm
- Material: M42 bimetal saw band, high-speed carbon steel
- Recommended maximum speed: RPM≤1000 (according to the manufacturer)
- Suitable for: soft metal, aluminium alloys, galvanized pipes, wood, plasterboard, PVC and plastics
Practical Tips
When cutting metal, keep the drill speed low and steady to avoid excessive wear. Use cutting oil for metalwork to improve tooth life and reduce heat build-up. For wood and plastics a higher feed rate is acceptable but take care to support the workpiece to prevent chipping on the exit face. If the saw binds, stop and clear chips before continuing to maintain the non-binding performance and preserve the tooth edges. 🪚
Positive Aspects
This model offers a balance between cost and function for general-purpose hole cutting where specialised carbide tools are not necessary. The arc-shaped tooth layout and concentric manufacturing help deliver a uniform cut, which can reduce chatter and improve roundness of the hole. Consider that, according to the manufacturer, prolonged operation at speeds above the recommended RPM will accelerate wear and may shorten service life.
