4-piece TKO carbide-tipped hole cutter kit with 7/8 in, 1-1/8 in and 1-3/8 in cutters plus a SmoothStart pilot bit for clean holes in sheet metal and stainless steel. Commonly used for electrical panels, boxes and enclosures with a standard 3/8 in or larger drill chuck and low-RPM drill.
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 36-311 TKO hole cutter kit is used to cut clean, round holes in sheet metal, including mild steel and stainless steel, for conduit and fitting entry points in electrical panels, boxes and enclosures.
Use for
- Cutting 7/8 in, 1-1/8 in and 1-3/8 in holes in sheet metal
- Electrical panels, junction boxes and enclosures
- Handheld drills or drill presses with a standard 3/8 in or larger chuck
- Low-RPM drilling where cleaner results and reduced walking matter
Avoid for
- Masonry, concrete or wood boring applications
- High-RPM use beyond the manufacturer’s recommended speed
- Applications where the required hole size is outside the included cutter range
Best for
Best for electricians and panel builders who need the common trade sizes in one case for fast, repeatable cuts in metal enclosures. The SmoothStart pilot bit helps reduce skidding at startup, which is useful when working on finished panels or in tight spaces.
Installed in
Typically used on electrical service equipment, control panels, cabinets, pull boxes and other metal enclosures in residential, commercial and industrial work.
Why this product exists
This kit is designed as an alternative to traditional manual knockout methods when speed, access and hole quality matter. The carbide-tipped cutters are made for smooth, precise holes in sheet metal, while the built-in over-drill flange helps prevent drilling beyond the metal surface and reduces the chance of damaging components behind the work area.
Compared with similar products
Compared with bi-metal hole saws, carbide-tipped hole cutters are commonly chosen for faster cutting and cleaner holes in sheet metal and stainless steel. Compared with manual knockout sets, this style is often preferred where access is limited or when using a drill is more practical. Actual cutting speed and cutter life depend on material thickness, drill speed, lubrication and operator technique.
