Hole Saw Dedra TCT 60 mm 5/8" arbor (model 08X060) — bi-metal cutting blade

Dedra TCT 60 mm hole saw with a 5/8" arbor is a bi-metal cutting blade designed to create clean 60 mm diameter openings. Intended for use with compatible hand drills and drill presses, this TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) hole saw is suitable for cutting through materials typically compatible with TCT tooling, such as wood and non-ferrous metals. It mounts to standard 5/8" arbors and is used for installing pipes, cables, fixtures and recessed fittings where a precise round opening is required.

Advantages

The TCT teeth deliver longer cutting life and better edge retention than standard high-speed steel saws when used in recommended materials, while the bi-metal construction provides a balance of toughness and cutting performance. Its 60 mm diameter and 5/8" arbor compatibility make it easy to fit to common drill arbors and adapters; the design supports consistent hole roundness and reduces the risk of tearing or splintering in wood when operated at appropriate speed and feed. The tool is compact and intended for repeatable, accurate holemaking in renovation and installation tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting 60 mm diameter openings in wood and similar materials
• Drilling holes in non-ferrous metals (with correct feed and speed)
• Installing pipes, conduit, cable glands and recessed fixtures
• Using with hand drills and drill presses equipped with a 5/8" arbor

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 60 mm
• Arbor connection: compatible with 5/8" arbors
• Blade type: TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) bi-metal construction
• Designed use: through holes for installations and fittings
• Typical compatible materials: wood, non-ferrous metals

How to use

Secure the hole saw onto a matching 5/8" arbor and tighten according to the arbor manufacturer's instructions. Mark the centre of the required opening and pilot-drill a guide hole if necessary. Fit the drill or drill press, set an appropriate rotational speed for the material being cut, and apply steady, even pressure. For wood, moderate speeds and continuous cutting reduce splintering; for non-ferrous metals, use slower speeds, steady feed, and appropriate cutting lubricant. After completing the cut, retract the saw and clear any chips before removing the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, select drill speed and feed for the material, and keep the blade clean of chips to maximize life and hole quality. When cutting metal, apply suitable cutting fluid and avoid excessive feed rate to prevent premature wear.
