Hole Pro's Power Series Cutter Kits Hinsdale IL

The Hole Pro Power Series adjustable hole cutter kits have been designed for quickly cutting exact size holes in sheetrock/drywall, plaster, wood, plywood, OSB, MDF, Hardi fiber cement board, fiberglass, veneers, and acoustical ceiling tile.

Hole Pro's ABS composite plastic safety shield enables a hand drill to work like aportable drill press keeping the hole cutter perpendicular to thesurface.

The ABS composite plastic safety shield enables a hand drill to work like a portable drill press keeping the hole cutter perpendicular to the surface and provides and adjustment to limit the depth of the cut (no accidental cutting of hidden wiring or plumbing), while safely trapping all the dust, shavings, and the cut plug.

With just the blades making contact with the material being cut there is one-third as much torque required to cut a hole compared to using a conventional hole saw. This means the smaller and lighter 14-volt, 3/8-inch cordless drills can be used to cut hole after hole on the job. It also means greatly reduced risk of stalling or kick back as when a hole saw hits a joist or stud and the drill and operator are spun in the opposite direction.

According to the manufacturer, the Hole Pro adjustable hole cutters are faster, easier, and safer to use than conventional cup style hole saws. Standard hole saws have a lot of surface area to grab the work piece being cut, especially if the drill is not perfectly perpendicular to the surface being cut. When the cup saw grabs or binds the drill starts to rotate the operator in the opposite direction, often resulting in injury. And the hole saws with all the shavings and dust make a mess of the work area.

Adjustability

Being adjustable, one hole cutter takes the place of a dozen or more hole saws. The adjustable hole cutter can be set to cut exactly the size hole needed. As there is a blade that cuts the material for the hole instead of teeth that saw the material, there is a much cleaner cut. With a blade there is much less surface contact and so the danger of binding and drill kickback is largely eliminated. When the blade becomes dull, just the blade needs to be replaced. The blade can be replaced in seconds using only the hex wrench provided in the kit.

Power Series hole cutters come in four different sizes. The small X-148 with its 5-7/8-inch capacity and seven-inch OD shield can make cutouts for almost every size marine speaker being made today. The X-305 with its 1-7/8-inch to 12-inch cutting range is great for every size cutout needed for residential in-ceiling speakers. For large woofers, mounted in-ceiling or in a cabinet (home or auto) the model X-425 ajustable hole cutter provides a cutting capacity up to 17” in diameter, for easy installation of 14- and 15-inch speakers.
