Hole saw AWTools AW49535 — lightweight 100 g cutting accessory

AWTools AW49535 — lightweight 100 g cutting accessory is a hole saw designed to create precise circular openings in a variety of materials. Constructed with an alloy steel body and a powder-coated finish, this accessory features HSS M3 bi-metal cutting teeth that are laser welded to the body. The progressive tooth pitch improves cutting speed and chip evacuation, and the tool is compatible with standard electric and impact drills when used with a suitable arbor.

Advantages

The AWTools AW49535 offers a combination of low weight and robust cutting performance. Its alloy steel body with powder coating provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability during use. Laser-welded HSS M3 bi-metal teeth deliver durability and maintain sharpness across mixed materials. Progressive tooth pitch reduces clogging and helps achieve fast, clean cuts with efficient chip removal.

Suitable for

• Cutting through steel and cast iron
• Drilling holes in wood and wood-based panels
• Creating openings in aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
• Working with plastics, acrylic glass and plasterboards
• Installing ventilation ducts, sanitary and plumbing pipes, junction and socket boxes, lock sets and LED fittings

Key specifications

• Tooth design: progressive pitch for fast cutting and improved chip removal
• Compatibility: suitable for use with standard electric drills and impact drills (requires compatible arbor)
• Applicable materials: steel, cast iron, wood, wood-based materials, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, acrylic glass, plasterboards

How to use

Select a compatible arbor and secure the AWTools AW49535 hole saw to the drill according to the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the center point of the hole on the workpiece and, if needed, drill a pilot hole to guide the saw. Start drilling at low speed to establish the cut, then increase speed as appropriate for the material. Apply moderate, steady feed pressure to avoid overheating and allow the progressive teeth to clear chips. Periodically withdraw the saw to remove accumulated material and inspect the cut. After completion, remove burrs and clean the hole as required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use cutting lubricant when working with metals and allow the tool to cool between extended cuts. Match drill speed and feed rate to the material: lower speeds for hard metals, higher speeds for wood and plastics. Ensure the arbor and drill are rated for the hole saw diameter to maintain safety and cutting accuracy.
