Hole saw Artu 26413, 33 mm, tungsten carbide cutting edge

Hole saw Artu 26413, 33 mm, tungsten carbide cutting edge is a circular cutting tool designed to create precise 33 mm diameter holes in a range of base materials. Built for use with compatible drill rigs and hand drills, the saw combines a hardened steel body with a tungsten carbide tooth or cutting edge to improve wear resistance and maintain cutting geometry over repeated use. The product is intended for tradespeople and technicians who require clean, repeatable holes for installation and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The tungsten carbide cutting edge offers increased durability compared to standard high-speed steel, extending service life when cutting abrasive or mixed materials. The 33 mm diameter provides a consistent hole size for conduit, pipe penetrations, cable entries and fixture mounting. The hole saw’s design facilitates efficient chip evacuation during cutting and reduces the need for frequent sharpening or replacement. It is compatible with common arbor systems and can be used in both portable and stationary drilling setups when the correct arbor and pilot bit are fitted.

Suitable for

• Cutting holes for electrical conduit, junction boxes and cable glands
• Creating openings for plumbing penetrations and pipe installations
• Making clean holes in wood, plasterboard, plastics and thin metal sheets (depending on material thickness)
• General building and renovation installations requiring repeatable hole diameters

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 33 mm
• Cutting edge material: tungsten carbide
• Body type: annular/hole saw cup
• Intended mounting: compatible with standard drill arbors and pilot bits (arbor sold separately)
• Typical applications: wood, plasterboard, plastics, thin sheet metal (material-dependent)

How to use

Select a compatible arbor and pilot bit that match the hole saw cup and your drill’s shank system. Secure the arbor and pilot bit in the drill chuck, then attach the hole saw cup according to the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the center point of the intended hole, position the pilot bit on the mark, and start drilling at low speed to establish a guided cut. Apply steady pressure and moderate speed, allowing the tungsten carbide edge to cut without excessive force. Clear chips periodically to prevent clogging and overheating. After cutting, withdraw the hole saw and remove the slug from the cup using the recommended extractor or by carefully pushing it out.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hand protection) and clamp or secure the workpiece. Match drilling speed and feed to the material: lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for wood and plastics. Do not force the tool; let the carbide edge cut at its own rate. For thicker or harder materials, consider progressive cutting with pilot holes or multiple passes and ensure adequate cooling or lubrication when recommended for the material.
