Prox Bi-metal Hole Saw 48 mm HSS M14 HEX

The Prox Bi-metal Hole Saw 48 mm HSS M14 HEX is a versatile and durable cutting tool designed for efficient drilling across a wide range of materials. Engineered with a robust combination of HSS tool steel and M2 high-carbon steel, this bi-metal hole saw ensures reliable performance, consistent cutting edges, and extended tool life during demanding workshop and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The bi-metal construction provides exceptional strength and resistance to wear, making it well-suited for repetitive drilling operations. The combination of high-speed steel and high-carbon steel allows the tool to maintain its cutting efficiency across different material densities. Its specialized tooth geometry ensures clean and precise entry into the workpiece, reducing vibration and operator fatigue.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in standard steel and stainless steel sheets
• Working with non-ferrous metals and aluminum
• Cutting through wood and wooden panels
• Penetrating various types of plastic materials

When it may not be suitable

This hole saw is not recommended for drilling through extremely hard abrasive materials like masonry, concrete, stone, or hardened armor plate. Using it on such surfaces will rapidly dull and damage the teeth.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 48 mm
• Maximum drilling depth: 34 mm
• Material composition: HSS tool steel and M2 high-carbon steel
• Thread type: M14
• Mounting method: HEX

How to use

To use the bi-metal hole saw, ensure it is securely attached to a compatible power tool using the HEX mounting method and M14 thread. Center the pilot drill on your intended mark and begin drilling at a moderate speed with steady, even pressure. Avoid excessive lateral force to prevent binding. Periodically clear debris from the cut and use appropriate cutting fluid when working with metals to prevent overheating and prolong the lifespan of the tool.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 48 mm diameter matches your specific project requirements
• Ensure your drilling equipment supports HEX mounting and M14 thread connections
• Confirm the maximum drilling depth of 34 mm is sufficient for your material thickness

Usage recommendations: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when operating power tools and drilling metal or wood. Maintain recommended RPM speeds based on the material being cut to achieve the best results.
