Bosch HBT475 4-3/4 Inch Bi-Metal Hole Saw M42 Cobalt Alloy 5 TPI Progressor Tooth for Wood Metal and Plastic

INDUSTRIAL GRADE M42 COBALT PERFORMANCE FOR LARGE DIAMETER CUTTING

Power through large-scale drilling applications with the Bosch HBT475 4-3/4 Inch Bi-Metal Hole Saw. Designed for professional tradesmen, this heavy-duty cutter is engineered with Bosch’s enhanced M42 alloy material containing 8% cobalt. This premium composition delivers exceptional heat resistance and extends the tool's life by up to 20% compared to standard bi-metal saws. Whether you are cutting holes for HVAC ducting, plumbing pipes, or large recessed lighting fixtures, the HBT475 provides the durability required to drill through tough materials like metal, stainless steel, drywall, and wood without compromising performance.

Efficiency is built into the HBT475's design. It features the innovative "Progressor" tooth geometry with varying teeth sizes (5 TPI) to cut faster and produce cleaner edges. The unique triangle slot design on the side walls effectively dissipates heat and solves the common problem of stuck plugs, allowing for rapid debris removal. With a deep 1-3/4 inch cup to handle thick materials and a reinforced shoulder to prevent stress failure, this hole saw is a reliable workhorse for any job site. Note: Large diameter hole saws generate significant torque; use with a drill equipped with a side handle is recommended.

Key Features

• M42 Cobalt Alloy: Contains 8% cobalt for superior heat resistance and 20% longer life in demanding applications.
• Progressor Tooth Design: Alternating tooth sizes (5 TPI) ensure faster cutting speeds and cleaner entry/exit holes.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When cutting with large diameter hole saws (over 4 inches), operate your drill at a lower RPM to reduce heat buildup and maintain control. If cutting deep into wood, periodically back the saw out of the hole while spinning to clear sawdust from the gullets—this prevents binding and burning the wood.
