Designed for Versatile Material Cutting

Whether you are installing plumbing, electrical components, hardware, or other fixtures, this CMT hole saw provides a versatile solution for creating clean, accurately sized openings. Its carbide-tipped construction makes it suitable for demanding applications across woodworking, renovation, construction, and installation projects.

How to Enlarge an Existing Hole

CMT makes precision hole enlargement simple by allowing two compatible hole saws to be mounted together. Follow these steps:

1. Load the larger hole saw by sliding it from the back of the shank until it reaches the ring stop.
2. Load the smaller hole saw from the front of the shank until it reaches the ring stop, then click it securely into place.
3. Insert the assembled shank into the drill with the larger hole saw seated against the chuck.

Important: If the two hole saws use different shank sizes, the stepped shank CMT-Sh350-DB1 is required. Hole enlargement requires a minimum difference of 9 mm (23/64-in.) between the two hole saw diameters.
