Want to offer deep hole saws to your customers?
We are looking to join forces with companies aligned with the construction and fabrication markets. Feel free to reach out at to
in**@de******.com
for more information, minimum advertised pricing (MAP), and distributor account minimum initial purchase volumes. We do not drop ship.
We are filling a large volume of distributors orders! We are able to ship most items today, and have a few sizes of cutters that are on backorder.
We can make custom products in the hole saw and industrial cutter markets. Minimum QTY applies (usually 250 or 500).
Cutting tips for your customers using our hole saws:
Cutting Wood: Our deep hole saws work like any other in wood.
Cutting Sheet Metal: When cutting metal, you can drill through 1.5” thick wood to install a “slug” first to make the pilot bit not wander when starting your cut. Once the hole saw is started, eject the slug and enjoy the full depth.
Notching Metal Tubing: This requires more finesse, and we have tips:
Deep hole saws chip load easier! Hole saws are “flimsy” by nature, and making them 3” or 4” long makes them flex more. We have done the R&D and watched them cut in 500+ FPS slow motion and examined the flex, deflection, chip loading, and more. You WILL have to re-learn how to cut effectively to maximize tool life. That lesson will cost you a hole saw or two. Let us help you speed up the learning process:
From contact with tubing to .080″ depth of cut- Run a corded 1/2″ chuck drill at 600-700 RPM. Wet the hole saw with TAP MAGIC or similar. NOT WD-40, engine oil, etc. Feed with about 1/2 pound force on the drill (very light feed force).
From .080″ depth of cut to just before the end of cut- Run the drill at 300-700 RPM based on feel. We usually run on the high end of the RPM range and push with about 8-10 pounds of force. Re-apply some cutting fluid mid-cut one time.
End of cut- Max RPM and light feed again.
Remember you have ONE tooth with an aggressive rake angle cutting carbon steel (or another alloy) all by itself at the beginning of a cut. This is a nasty job. Don’t ask the tool to cut .050″ per tooth! High RPM and light feed lets it take the .005″-.010″ that it wants to on steel.
