Hole saw AWTools AW49640 — AWTools AW49640, weight 700 g

AWTools AW49640 is a hole saw designed for cutting circular openings in a wide range of materials. The tool has a body made of alloy steel with a powder-coated finish and cutting teeth made of laser-welded HSS M3 bi-metal steel. With a weight of 700 g, this hole saw is intended for use with compatible drills and drill holders and offers progressive tooth pitch for fast, precise drilling and efficient chip removal.

Advantages

The alloy steel body with powder coating provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance while the laser-welded HSS M3 bi-metal cutting teeth combine hardness and toughness for long tool life. Progressive tooth pitch improves cutting speed and reduces clogging, enabling smooth and accurate circular cuts. The AWTools AW49640 can be used with standard electric or impact drills, giving flexibility on job sites and in workshops.

Suitable for

• Cutting through steel and cast iron
• Drilling holes in wood and wood-based materials
• Making openings in aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
• Creating holes in plastics, acrylic glass and plasterboard
• Installing ventilation ducts, plumbing pipes and sanitary fittings
• Fitting junction boxes, socket boxes and lock sets
• Drilling holes for LED lighting fixtures

How to use

Mount the AWTools AW49640 on a compatible arbor or drill holder and secure it according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material being cut — lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for wood and plastics. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the progressive tooth pitch to remove chips effectively. Use cutting lubricant when drilling metals to extend tool life and reduce heat. After completing the cut, retract the hole saw and clear chips and swarf before removing the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a stable drilling setup and, when cutting metals, apply appropriate coolant or cutting oil. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves. Check the drill chuck and arbor for secure fastening before use, and remove chips from the hole saw periodically to maintain cutting efficiency.
