{"product_id":"85mm-bi-metal-holesaw-knightsbridge","title":"85mm Bi-Metal Holesaw - Knightsbridge","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge 85mm bi-metal holesaw combines a high-speed steel cutting edge with a spring steel body, giving it the durability to cut through ferrous metals, stainless steel, die-cast alloys, hardwood floors, plywood and rigid plastics. The 4\/6 TPI variable tooth pitch alternates between coarser and finer teeth around the cutting edge, reducing vibration and heat build-up during drilling compared to fixed-pitch teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for electricians fitting downlights, HVAC installers running ducting, carpenters cutting clearance holes in joists, and maintenance engineers working on metal enclosures, the 85mm diameter suits products requiring an 85mm cut-out. The 38mm cutting depth handles standard UK stud walls (63mm timber with plasterboard both sides), 32mm worktops, and sheet steel up to 3mm thick in a single pass. The saw fits Knightsbridge HSARBORL arbors and most standard arbor shafts with a hex or SDS drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bi-metal construction uses electron beam welding to bond the high-speed steel teeth to the spring steel cup, creating a joint that withstands the shock loads and lateral forces that crack all-HSS holesaws when cutting metal. The yellow finish provides corrosion resistance and makes the saw visible in a tool bag. After cutting ferrous metals, clear swarf from the teeth with a wire brush to maintain cutting performance on subsequent holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut-out Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1474297_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat arbor does this holesaw require?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 85mm holesaw fits the Knightsbridge HSARBORL arbor and most standard arbor shafts with hex or SDS drive.
