Sutton H127 44mm TCT Multi-Purpose Holesaw

The Sutton H127 is the multi-purpose holesaw series in the Sutton range, and this 44mm size carries the tungsten carbide tipped teeth that give the series its TCT name. It is built for machine or hand drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastic and wood, and it cuts to a 32mm depth. The body is bi-metal cobalt HSS for toughness and longer life, with the carbide tips taking the load on the cutting edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 44mm TCT holesaw used for?

A 44mm holesaw covers pipe and conduit entries in the 40 to 44mm range, vent grilles and small duct fittings. It is a useful size for plumbers running pipe through timber and steel, and for electricians on larger cable entries.

Will the carbide tips handle mixed materials?

That is the point of the multi-purpose series. The carbide tips cut across steel, stainless, timber, plastic and the abrasive materials in between, holding their edge far longer than a plain steel tooth. It is the saw to grab when the job does not stay on one material.

Can I use this saw in timber framing?

Yes. It cuts through studs, joists and plywood cleanly, and the carbide tips shrug off the timber work that would gradually dull a plain edge. Feed at a steady rate and clear the sawdust from the flutes on deeper holes.

Do I need a heavy drill for 44mm?

A standard corded drill or a strong 18V cordless will drive a 44mm saw in timber and sheet steel. Let the pilot start the hole, keep the feed steady, and use a moderate speed. In thicker plate, a heavier drill or a pillar drill is the better tool.
