Hole Saw AWTools 65 mm bimetal AW49565

The Hole Saw AWTools 65 mm bimetal AW49565 is a cutting tool designed to create precise 65 mm diameter openings in metal and a range of other construction materials. Made from bimetal, the hole saw combines a high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy body to provide increased durability and improved heat resistance during prolonged drilling operations. It is intended for use with hand drills and drill presses and is suitable for applications that require clean, round holes such as pipe, cable and conduit installation.

Advantages

The bimetal construction offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance to extend tool life when cutting into steel, stainless steel, aluminum and soft materials. The saw teeth are formed to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce material binding, while the saw body design provides compatibility with common arbors for quick attachment and removal. Heat-resistant properties reduce the risk of premature dulling during repetitive or high-speed drilling, and the 65 mm diameter gives a standard size option for many mechanical and installation tasks.

Suitable for

• Creating 65 mm openings for pipe and conduit routing in plumbing and HVAC installations
• Drilling holes in sheet metal and thin-walled steel for cable entry and fittings
• On-site and workshop use with hand drills or drill presses for mechanical installations

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 65 mm
• Material: bimetal construction (high-speed steel teeth bonded to alloy body)
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard drill arbors and chucks on hand drills and drill presses
• Application: suitable for metal, stainless steel, aluminum and similar construction materials

How to use

Select a compatible arbor and secure the hole saw to the drill or drill press according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the center point of the hole and, if available, pilot drill a small guide hole. Align the pilot bit or arbor, start drilling at low speed to establish the cut, then increase speed and apply steady, even pressure. Use cutting fluid when drilling thicker metal to reduce heat and extend blade life. After completing the cut, withdraw the saw and clear any metal swarf before removing the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For thicker or harder metals, apply cutting fluid and operate at reduced speed to minimize heat build-up. Inspect the saw teeth before use and replace when worn to maintain cutting quality and safety.
