## Description

Starrett HSS Bi-Metal Fast Cut Hole Saw - 73mm - For Metal, Wood, Plastics : desertcart.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science

Review: Smooth cutting, minimal chatter, and built to last - I bought this Starrett Fast Cut hole saw to run a few clean pentrations through thin sheet metal, timber, and PVC conduit, and it performed brilliantly. What stands out: Fast, Clean Cuts: The 5.5 TPI positive-rake tooth design grabs onto the material straight away without walking around or shuddering. It leaves a crisp, burr-free edge that requires minimal cleanup. Heat Resistance: The extra cobalt in the HSS teeth makes a noticeable difference in heat management compared to standard budget bi-metal saws. It holds its sharpness even after multiple passes through tougher steel sheet. 41mm Depth: Perfect depth for going through standard timber joists, sheet metal, and plasterboard. Solid Construction: Fits standard Starrett arbors (and compatible third-party arbors) with zero slop or thread binding. Fpr Best Results: Speed Control: Keep your drill at lower RPMs, especially when cutting steel, to keep heat generation to a minimum. Use Cutting Fluid: A drop of cutting oil or lubricant when going through metal extends the life of the teeth significantly. Core Ejection: Clearing the plug out of the 41mm depth cup is straightforward using the side slots with a flathead screwdriver. Final Verdict If you're fed up with cheap hole saws dulling halfway through a project or tearing up material, spend the few extra pounds on Starrett. It cuts faster, runs smoother, and holds an edge remarkably well. Highly recommended for tradespeople and serious DIYers alike.
Review: Excellent quality hole cutter - Great quality as always from Starret hole cutters. Don’t be tempted to buy the cheap versions these are made to last, good straight cuts
