What are holesaws?

Also known as hole cutters, holesaws (sometimes spelt hole saws) are saw blades of annular, circular shape. Basically, holesaws are power tool accessories used to drill or cut out circular holes in a wide range of materials. 

What are metal cutting holesaws?

As the name suggests, metal cutting holesaws are holesaws specifically made to cut through metals. 

It is essential to understand that some bits are suitable for drilling or cutting through non-ferrous metals only, such as tin, steel, copper, aluminium, or other lighter, more malleable metals. Therefore, using the correct hole saw is paramount to ensure no damage to your drill, hole saw, or the metal you are trying to cut or drill.

How do metal cutting holesaws work?

Holesaws are generally used with arbours/shanks that attach to the drill and sit in the saw's centre. Arbours keep the saw in place and prevent slipping, and the holesaws work through the material, resulting in a clean hole. 

At Ace Fixings, we always recommend using PPE equipment when working with drills.  When it comes to cutting through metals, using adequate eye protection gear is especially important to prevent tiny metal chips from landing in your eye.
