Hole saw Abraboro HSS-Co 17 x 38 mm, bimetal (AB30017000)

Abraboro HSS-Co bimetal hole saw 17 x 38 mm is designed for cutting precise circular openings in a range of materials. Constructed from high-speed steel with cobalt alloy (HSS-Co), this hole saw delivers enhanced wear resistance and longer tool life compared with standard high-speed steel options. With a 17 mm cutting diameter and 38 mm cutting depth, it is suitable for drilling through thin to medium-thickness metal sheets as well as plastics and composite materials where a clean, round hole is required.

Advantages

The HSS-Co bimetal construction combines toughness and hardness to resist heat and abrasion during demanding cutting jobs. Teeth made from high-speed steel alloy maintain sharpness longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The 38 mm depth provides capacity for deeper hole requirements while the 17 mm diameter gives a compact, accurate result. Compatibility with standard hole saw arbors and drill drives ensures straightforward fitting and reliable concentric cutting.

Suitable for

• Plumbing installations: cutting holes for pipes and fittings in metal panels
• Electrical work: creating openings for conduits, mounting hardware, and cable glands
• Metalworking tasks: making precise circular holes in sheet metal and thin metal plates
• General construction and renovation where round cutouts in metal or plastic are required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 17 mm
• Cutting depth: 38 mm
• Material: HSS-Co bimetal (high-speed steel with cobalt)
• Application materials: thin to medium-thickness metals, plastics, composite panels
• Compatibility: fits standard hole saw arbors and drill chucks

How to use

Mount the hole saw securely on a compatible arbor and tighten according to the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the centre point of the required hole on the workpiece and position the pilot drill or guide to ensure accurate placement. Use a steady drill speed appropriate to the material being cut and apply consistent pressure; avoid excessive feed that can overload the tool. For metal cutting, use a suitable cutting lubricant to reduce heat and prolong blade life. After cutting, remove burrs and de-burr the edge as needed for a clean finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting metal, start with a small pilot hole to locate the saw and use moderate speed with cutting fluid. Replace the hole saw if teeth show significant wear or chipping to maintain hole quality and safety.
