Hole Saw Artu 83 mm with Tungsten Carbide Grit Cutting Edge, model 26418

The Artu hole saw 83 mm with a tungsten carbide grit cutting edge (model 26418) is a circular cutting tool designed for making larger diameter openings in a variety of building materials. The sintered tungsten carbide grit provides an abrasive cutting surface that resists wear and maintains cutting performance during repeated use. The tool is intended for use with standard drill arbors and is suitable for tasks in construction, renovation and plumbing where reliable, larger-diameter holes are needed.

Advantages

The tungsten carbide grit cutting edge combines durability and consistent cutting action, extending tool life compared with plain-tooth hole saws when working with abrasive materials. The 83 mm diameter is suitable for fixtures and pipe penetrations commonly required in building and renovation work. The hole saw’s cylindrical design provides smooth circular cuts and straightforward chip removal when used correctly. Compatibility with standard arbors allows it to be fitted to most corded and cordless drills used on site.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Cutting circular openings in wood and plywood for cable or pipe passages
• Drilling service and fixture holes in plasterboard and drywall
• Making openings in composite panels and certain non-ferrous materials
• Creating larger holes for plumbing penetrations and ventilation ducts

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 83 mm
• Cutting edge material: tungsten carbide grit (sintered)
• Tool type: hole saw with cylindrical cutting cup
• Compatibility: fits standard drill arbors for hole saws
• Typical applications: wood, plasterboard, composites, some non-ferrous materials

How to use

Mount the hole saw on a compatible arbor and secure it to the drill spindle following the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the center of the hole and, if available, use a pilot drill or guide to stabilize the cut. Start drilling at low speed to establish the cut, then increase speed moderately while applying steady, even pressure. Allow the tungsten carbide grit edge to abrade the material rather than forcing the tool; excessive feed pressure can reduce tool life or produce irregular cuts. Periodically withdraw the hole saw to clear chips and check progress. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp workpieces where possible and avoid overheating by using intermittent cutting or cooling when working continuously in dense or abrasive materials.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the material being cut: lower speeds for denser or metallic materials, medium speeds for wood and plasterboard. Inspect the cutting edge before use and replace the hole saw if the grit surface is excessively worn. Use a pilot bit or guide sleeve to improve accuracy, and keep the work area secure and clear of debris to ensure safe operation.
