Hole Cutter · 3/4 in (19 mm) Carbide-Tipped · For Sheet Metal and Stainless Steel · IDEAL 36-300
What this product is for
The IDEAL 36-300 TKO hole cutter is used to cut 3/4 in (19 mm) holes in sheet metal and stainless steel. It is suited to electrical panels, junction boxes, cabinets, and other metal enclosures where electricians need a clean, burr-reduced opening.
Use for
Use for drilling conduit entry holes, panel modifications, control cabinet work, and metal box preparation with a handheld drill or drill press. The carbide-tipped cutting edge is intended for metal-cutting applications where a standard bi-metal hole saw may cut more slowly.
Avoid for
Avoid using this cutter on materials outside the listed metal applications unless suitability is confirmed by the manufacturer. It is also not the right choice where a different finished hole size is required for the fitting or trade size being installed.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams cutting repeat holes in steel enclosures, stainless steel panels, and fabricated boxes. It is a practical choice when cleaner starts, reduced walking, and controlled cutting matter on finished metal surfaces.
Installed in
Commonly used in electrical rooms, commercial tenant fit-ups, industrial panels, service shops, and field retrofit work. This is a cutting accessory for the tool kit rather than a permanently installed electrical product.
Why this product exists
This hole cutter is designed to make fast, controlled holes in metal with less wandering at startup. The integrated arbor provides solid rotation, and the SmoothStart pilot drill helps start accurately on smooth metal surfaces.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a general-purpose hole saw, a carbide-tipped hole cutter is commonly chosen for sheet metal and stainless steel where faster cutting and cleaner hole quality are needed. As a typical trade consideration, using cutting oil can help extend cutter life and improve chip evacuation. Actual performance depends on material thickness, drill speed, pressure, and installation conditions.
