Product Specification
1-5/16" TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TIPPED HOLE CUTTER
The Benchmark Abrasives 1-5/16" Tungsten Carbide Tipped Hole Cutter is a professional-grade hole cutting tool built for fast, clean cutting in demanding metalworking applications. Tungsten carbide cutting tips provide an aggressive, durable cutting edge for producing accurate holes in sheet metal, stainless steel, steel plate, iron, aluminum, copper, cast iron, fiberglass, and plastic.
A heavy-duty, heat-treated high-speed steel body provides the strength and durability needed for repeated fabrication, electrical, plumbing, maintenance, and industrial work. The integrated 1/4" hex shank installs directly into compatible rotary drills, while the spring-loaded pilot system helps accurately start the cut and assists with ejecting the finished plug after breakthrough.
With a 7/16" cutting depth and an integrated cutter, pilot, and shank assembly, this TCT hole cutter delivers a compact, ready-to-use alternative to conventional hole saw systems that require a separate arbor.

Features
- Tungsten carbide tips provide fast, efficient cutting in metal and other approved materials.
- Heat-treated high-speed steel body delivers heavy-duty strength and durability.
- Spring-loaded pilot system helps accurately locate the cut and eject the finished plug.
- Safety collar helps limit excessive penetration through the workpiece.
- Integrated shank and pilot assembly eliminates the need for a separate hole saw arbor.
- Includes a hex key for adjustment and maintenance.
Applications & Performance
Designed for professional hole making applications including:
- Electrical installation
- Metal fabrication
- HVAC work
- Plumbing
- Automotive repair
- Industrial maintenance
- General shop and fabrication work
The tungsten carbide tipped cutting edge removes material around the circumference of the hole rather than drilling away the entire center section, allowing efficient hole production while leaving a removable center plug.

Machine Compatibility
Designed for use with compatible electric-powered rotary drills that accept a 1/4" hex shank.
Compatible examples include:
-
DEWALT® Models: DW130V, DCD991, DCD996
-
Milwaukee® Models: 0200-20, 0202-20, 0299-20, 0300-20, 0302-20
Use the drill in rotary drilling mode only. Do not use hammer or impact mode.
Machine compatibility depends on the drill manufacturer's published metal hole-saw capacity, proper shank engagement, workpiece material and thickness, and appropriate operating speed.
Safety Tips
- Wear eye and hearing protection, plus respiratory protection appropriate to the material. Keep gloves, loose clothing, and hands clear of rotating parts.
- Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling.
- Keep the cutter square to the work surface and apply steady, controlled feed pressure.
- Do not force the cutter or operate it at excessive speed.
- Use rotary drilling mode only.
- Stop the drill and disconnect power before clearing chips or removing the cut plug.
- Inspect the carbide tips, pilot bit, shank, and safety collar before use.
- Replace worn or damaged components before continuing operation.
- Follow the drill manufacturer's operating and capacity guidelines.
