Description of 🪚 CT358 Carbide-Tipped Starrett Hole Saw
A cost effective solution for cutting nail imbedded wood, or wood and metal combination, reinforced concrete and fiberglass. Leaves high quality surface finish on entry and exit and provides a smooth cut when cutting traditional lathe and plaster. Tungsten carbide tipped teeth for outstanding cutting performance and product durability. Will cut nail embedded wood or virtually and wood and metal combination and suitable for use in mains and battery operated tools. 1-5/8-inches cutting depth.
This hole saw made cutting through tough materials a breeze. The carbide tip held up well to repeated use and cut through with minimal effort. The saw diameter was perfect for my needs and the saw teeth remained sharp even after multiple cuts. Its construction is sturdy and with its efficiency, handling industrial and scientific projects is a breeze. The only con I encountered was its price, which is a bit steep.
Pros
Durable and long-lasting due to carbide tip
Cons
May require additional expenses to purchase a separate arbor or pilot drill bit
I used it to drill through a fiber cement panel sheathing (approx. 2.5 cm thick). It went smoothly and cleanly. I wish I had messed up my bimetal blade before I bought this one!
later This should be a 3-5/8 inch hole saw. The retail label says 3-5/8", but the original manufacturer's label says 4". This saw is a 4" hole saw. It looks nice and should cut a really good 4" hole.
