Product Description
CMT Multi-Purpose TCT Hole Saw - 1-3/16" (30mm) is a tungsten carbide-tipped hole saw built for versatility across a wide range of materials and job site conditions. Designed for right-hand rotation and driven by a hexagonal shank, this 30mm hole cutter delivers clean, precise bores in wood, sheet materials, masonry, and more - making it a reliable choice for contractors, tradespeople, and serious DIYers who need one tool that handles multiple substrates without switching rigs.
Key Features
- Tungsten Carbide-Tipped (TCT) Cutting Tooth - hard-material grade carbide holds its edge through demanding applications in wood, plywood, MDF, laminates, plasterboard, plastics, bricks, aerated concrete, and soft tiles, reducing the need for frequent blade changes.
- 1-3/16" (30mm) Cutting Diameter - a compact, precise bore size ideal for conduit feed-throughs, fixture installations, and hardware recesses where dimensional accuracy is critical.
- 60mm Cutting Depth - reaches through thick substrates and stacked materials in a single pass, eliminating the need to reposition or use multiple tools.
- Hexagonal Shank Design - mates securely with compatible arbors to resist slipping under load, maintaining consistent blade alignment and reducing operator fatigue during extended use.
- Right-Hand Rotation (RH) - standard cutting direction compatible with corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses, so it integrates seamlessly into existing tool setups.
- Multi-Purpose Material Compatibility - transitions from wood products to masonry and plastic without swapping saw bodies, saving time on multi-material projects.
Why This Product
- The carbide-tipped construction handles both soft and hard substrates - from plywood and MDF to bricks and aerated concrete - so one hole saw covers applications that would otherwise require multiple specialized blades.
- A 60mm cutting depth means the saw clears through thick framing members, double-layer plasterboard, or stacked panels in a single operation, reducing setup time and improving workflow on busy job sites.
- The hexagonal shank provides positive, no-slip engagement with the arbor, which translates to straighter holes and reduced risk of the blade walking off-center in hard or abrasive materials.
- At 30mm (1-3/16"), this is a precise fit for standard electrical, plumbing, and hardware installations - eliminating guesswork and rework when dimensional accuracy matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cutting depth of this hole saw?
The cutting depth is 60mm, allowing the saw to bore through thick or layered materials in a single pass without repositioning.
What type of shank does this hole saw use?
This hole saw uses a hexagonal shank, which provides a secure, slip-resistant connection to compatible arbors and maintains consistent blade alignment during cutting.
What materials can this hole saw cut?
The tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) construction makes this saw suitable for wood, plywood, MDF, laminates, plasterboard, plastics, bricks, aerated concrete, and soft tiles - covering both soft and hard substrate applications.
Is this hole saw compatible with standard drills?
Yes. The right-hand rotation and hexagonal shank design are compatible with cordless drills, corded drills, and drill presses when used with the appropriate arbor for hexagonal shanks.
