Description of Starrett SM16 HO TCT SHEETMETAL

Ideal for cutting stainless and high alloy steels, non-ferrous light metals and reinforced fabrics at a much faster speed than bi-metal hole saws. Tough tungsten carbide tipped teeth have a positive cutting angle which provide fast and efficient removal of chips and swarf. Ideal for production cutting and particularly suitable for use in drills with limited speed control. Tungsten carbide tipped teeth provide superb product life and cutting performance. Safety stop at the base of the hole saw prevents drilling beyond the maximum cutting depth.
