Inch Size Hollow-Core Cutters for Magnetic-Base Drills
Use these cutters with magnetic-base drills. You can also pair them with an arbor adapter (sold separately) when using a manual drill press or milling machine. Unlike drill bits, these cut only on the periphery of the hole and produce a solid slug. Also known as annular cutters.
High-speed steel cutters have a bright finish and are for general purpose cutting.
Titanium nitride (TiN) coated high-speed steel cutters last longer than uncoated high-speed steel.
Cobalt steel cutters offer better heat and abrasion resistance than high-speed steel.
Carbide-tipped steel cutters last longer than high-speed steel and cobalt steel cutters and are for high-volume cutting of difficult-to-machine materials. Note: These cutters are more sensitive to shock and vibration compared to other cutters and should not be used with Jancy magnetic-base drill model USA101.
Pilot pins align the cutter and eject the slug. They're also known as ejector pins.
Arbor adapter for straight spindle fits a drill chuck or an R8 collet on a milling machine.
Arbor adapters for Morse taper spindle are for use on a drill press.
Arbor adapters for carbide-tipped steel cutters come with a pilot pin.

Hole Saws for Sheet Metal



with
Pilot Pin
Lower cutting depths than standard hole saws make these saws less likely to rip or tear while making smooth, burr-free cuts in sheets. Heat-treated high-speed steel teeth cut through aluminum, brass, bronze, and steel. Use these saws on a drill or drill press. An arbor (sold separately) is required.
Arbors with pilot drill guide your cut.
Arbors with pilot pin require a drilled pilot hole. Spring-loaded pilot pins push out the slug as you cut.
