Product Information

Full details

The Amtech 32mm Hole Saw is designed for trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require clean, accurate cuts through wood, plastic, metal sheets, and composite materials. Constructed from M35 High-Speed Steel (HSS), this tool offers excellent heat resistance and durability for demanding tasks; however, it requires the purchase of a compatible arbor to function with standard drills.

FAQs

Does this hole saw come with a pilot drill?

No, the pilot drill is typically included with the compatible arbor (Amtech M1517), which is sold separately.

Can I use this to cut through stainless steel?

While the M35 HSS material is heat resistant, stainless steel is very tough. Use low speeds, consistent pressure, and plenty of cutting fluid to avoid burning the teeth.

What is the maximum thickness this saw can cut?

The saw has a cutting depth of 39mm, which is the maximum thickness of material it can pass through.

Is this compatible with SDS-plus drills?

Yes, provided you use an arbor with an SDS-plus shank adapter that is compatible with the 32mm hole saw thread.

How do I remove a slug trapped inside the saw?

Most hole saws have side slots. Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently lever the material slug out through these openings.

Troubleshooting

Hole saw is binding or sticking in the material

Reduce your drilling speed and ensure the hole is clear of sawdust or metal chips. Apply light, consistent pressure rather than forcing the tool.

The hole edges appear jagged or rough

Check that the pilot bit is sharp and not loose. Ensure the drill is being held perfectly perpendicular to the material surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed steel (M35) material offers excellent edge retention
  • Versatile use across multiple materials including metal and wood
  • Consistent and clean cutting performance
  • Heat-resistant construction reduces wear during continuous use

Cons

  • Arbor not included, must be purchased separately
  • Requires specific pilot drill attachment for centering
  • Depth limited to 39mm

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the hole saw, screw the base into the Amtech M1517 hex arbor until it is tight and seated correctly. Ensure the pilot bit is extended slightly beyond the teeth. After use, clear out any debris or material shavings trapped between the teeth to maintain cutting efficiency. To extend the life of your blade, keep the cutting area cool, avoid excessive side-loading pressure, and store in a dry, rust-free environment. Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection when using this tool with power drills.
