FAQs

What materials can this 17 mm hole saw cut?

This Bosch Professional Multi Material Hole Saw is designed to cut a variety of common construction and interior materials including wood, drywall, GFK (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic), and various metals.

How deep can this hole saw cut?

It has a maximum cutting depth of 44 mm. Always ensure your material thickness does not exceed this for effective and safe operation.

What makes this hole saw more durable?

It lasts up to 2x longer than a standard HSS M3 hole saw primarily due to its high-quality 8% cobalt content in the HSS alloy teeth, which significantly increases its hardness and wear resistance.

Is this hole saw compatible with any drill?

It is compatible with most standard drills, but it requires a compatible hole saw arbor with a thread. It is optimally designed to integrate with the Bosch Power Change plus system for quick and easy changes.

How does the Power Change plus system benefit me?

The Power Change plus system allows for faster and tool-free changing of hole saws and pilot bits. It also simplifies the removal of material plugs, making your work more efficient and saving time on site.

Can I use this for cutting stainless steel?

While it's designed for various metals, stainless steel is particularly hard. For best results and to extend tool life when cutting stainless steel, use appropriate cutting fluid and ensure a slow, consistent drill speed.

What size is this hole saw?

This specific product is a 17 mm diameter hole saw, ideal for smaller diameter holes often required for electrical conduit or small piping.

How should I clean the hole saw after use?

After use, wipe down the hole saw to remove dust and debris. A stiff brush can help dislodge any material caught between the teeth. Store it dry to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Hole saw is cutting slowly or not cleanly.

Ensure you are using the correct speed for the material being cut. Too high a speed can burn, too low can drag. For metals, consider using cutting lubricant. Check the hole saw teeth for wear or damage; if significantly dull or damaged, replacement may be needed.

Material plug gets stuck inside the hole saw after cutting.

This hole saw is compatible with the Bosch Power Change plus system, which facilitates easy plug removal. If not using this system, carefully use a screwdriver or punch to push the plug out from the back of the hole saw. Always wear appropriate hand protection.

Hole saw teeth appear worn out faster than expected.

While designed for durability, ensure you are not overheating the tool by applying excessive pressure or using incorrect speeds. Always let the tool do the work. If cutting very hard materials frequently, ensure it is within the recommended material compatibility range. Using appropriate cooling or lubrication for metals is crucial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Attach to Arbor: Securely fasten the 17 mm Bosch Multi Material Hole Saw to a compatible hole saw arbor that features a thread. This hole saw is designed for use with the Bosch Power Change plus system for optimal convenience. Ensure it's tightened firmly.
  2. Insert Pilot Bit: If your arbor supports it, insert and secure the appropriate pilot drill bit. The pilot bit guides the hole saw for accurate starting.
  3. Mount to Drill: Attach the arbor assembly to your drill. Ensure it is securely chucked.

Compatibility

  • Drill Compatibility: Suitable for use with most standard corded or cordless drills that can accommodate a compatible hole saw arbor.
  • Arbor Compatibility: Specifically designed for hole saws with a thread and works optimally with the Bosch Power Change plus system arbors.
  • Cutting Depth: Has a maximum cutting depth of 44 mm. Ensure your material thickness does not exceed this for effective cutting.
  • Material Compatibility: Optimized for wood, drywall, GFK, and various metals.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the hole saw to remove dust, debris, and metal shavings. A stiff brush can help dislodge stubborn particles.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent rust, preferably in its original packaging or a tool case to protect the teeth.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the teeth for wear or damage. While designed for durability, extreme misuse or unexpected impacts can cause damage.
  • Lubrication (for metals): When cutting metals, especially harder ones, using cutting oil or fluid can significantly extend the life of the hole saw and improve cutting performance. Refer to the drill's manual for recommended speeds and lubrication practices.
