Sutton H127 51mm TCT Multi-Purpose Holesaw

The Sutton H127 is the multi-purpose holesaw series in the Sutton range, and this 51mm size, the 2 inch 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 2 inch TCT holesaw used for?

A 51mm holesaw is the size for pipe and cable entries that need a 2 inch round hole, common in plumbing for 40mm pipe penetrations and in electrical work for large cable runs. It is also used for vents, fans and extractor fittings in timber and steel.

Is the TCT edge worth it on a bigger saw?

Yes, on a 51mm saw the cutting edge does more work per hole than on a small saw, so an edge that stays sharp longer matters. The carbide tips handle the abrasive and mixed-material cuts that dull a plain bi-metal edge, which is the point of the multi-purpose series.

What drill is best for a 51mm saw?

A low-speed drill with good torque is the right match. A corded drill or a heavy 18V cordless will drive it through sheet steel and timber. Let the saw cut at its own pace, keep the pilot sharp, and ease off as the teeth break through.

Can I cut through metal roof sheeting with this saw?

Yes. The TCT teeth cut steel roofing and cladding cleanly, and the 32mm depth covers single skin panels. It is a good size for roof vents and exhaust fittings where a clean round hole is needed through the sheet.
