        Alpha | Bi-Metal Holesaw 22mm Blade Only | 8% Cobalt Bi-Metal

        The Alpha HSV22 is a 22mm bi-metal holesaw blade with a 38mm cutting depth, built from 8% cobalt bi-metal. The HSV22 is supplied as a blade only and uses an international standard thread pattern that accepts common holesaw arbors. It cuts steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metal, wood and plastic.

        Cutting an accurate 22mm entry through a switchboard gland plate, a light gauge steel stud or Colorbond sheeting takes a cutter that holds its tooth geometry beyond the first few holes. Cheaper holesaws round off, bind in the kerf and leave a burred edge that needs deburring before a gland or bush will seat. The HSV22 combines 8% cobalt bi-metal teeth with a 4/6 variable tooth pitch that reduces vibration through the material. Its 38mm cutting depth clears sheet metal, structural timber and plastic enclosure walls in a single pass.

        Features

        • 8% cobalt bi-metal construction — the high-speed steel tooth edge is welded to the blade body, and the weld construction resists tooth strippage in harder materials.
        • 4/6 variable tooth pitch — uneven tooth spacing reduces vibration and chatter, producing a smoother and more accurate cut across mixed materials.
        • 38mm cutting depth — the HSV22 passes through sheet metal, timber and plastic sections up to 38mm thick without a second setup.
        • 22mm cutting diameter — one fixed size for repeat entry holes, with no adjustment, stepping or reaming needed.
        • Multi-material cutting — rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metal, wood and plastic with the one blade.
        • Multiple grinding technology — the tooth grind is set for faster cutting and longer blade life between replacements.
        • International standard thread pattern — accepts all common arbors, so the HSV22 fits holesaw sets already on the truck.
        • Blade only supply — no arbor or pilot drill is included, so the replacement cost covers the cutting part alone.
        • Published speed chart — recommended drill speeds run from 195 rpm in tool steel and stainless up to 3000 rpm in wood.
        • Built to Alpha specification — manufactured to Alpha specifications for Australian working conditions.
        • Not a masonry cutter — the bi-metal tooth edge is made for metal, timber and plastic, not concrete, brick or tile.

        Where to use

        • Switchboard gland plates — the HSV22 cuts 22mm entries through steel and plastic gland plates for conduit and cable glands.
        • Steel stud and track work — puts cable entry holes through light gauge steel studs on commercial fitouts and partition work.
        • Metal enclosures and adaptable boxes — cuts clean entries in sheet steel and aluminium boxes without reaching for a punch set.
        • Colorbond and tin sheeting — works through profiled steel sheeting on shed, patio, awning and carport installs.
        • Timber studs and noggins — the 38mm depth handles cable runs through structural timber, joinery and cabinet backs.
        • Plastic and PVC enclosures — the HSV22 cuts entries in weatherproof enclosures, junction boxes and conduit fittings.
        • Appliance and cabinetry cut-outs — 22mm holes for flex, grommets and cable entries in cabinet panels and appliance housings.
        • Kit replacement — the HSV22 replaces a worn 22mm cutter in a holesaw set that already carries a matching arbor.

        The HSV22 is not rated for masonry, concrete, brick or tile, and the bi-metal tooth configuration is unsuitable for abrasive materials. It is supplied as a blade only, so it needs a separately purchased arbor and pilot drill. Running the blade above the recommended speed for the material accelerates tooth wear.

        (HSV22)

        The HSV22 cuts steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metal, wood and plastic. The 8% cobalt bi-metal tooth edge takes mixed materials with one blade. It is not made for masonry, concrete, brick or tile.

        Cutting depth is 38mm, measured on the usable length of the blade body. That covers gland plates, sheet metal, light gauge steel studs, plastic enclosure walls and most timber sections in a single pass.

        The blade is supplied on its own, with no arbor or pilot drill included. It mounts on an arbor bought separately. The international standard thread pattern accepts common arbors, including the type already fitted to most electricians' holesaw kits.

        Recommended speeds are 195 rpm for tool steel and stainless, 260 rpm for cast iron, 390 rpm for mild steel, 520 rpm for brass, 585 rpm for aluminium and 3000 rpm for wood. Harder materials need slower speeds.

        Variable tooth geometry spaces the teeth unevenly, which breaks up the vibration pattern behind chatter in a fixed pitch blade. The cut runs smoother and the hole comes out truer, particularly when moving between metal, timber and plastic on the same job.

        Blade life depends on the material, the drill speed and how hot the cut runs. Cobalt bi-metal teeth hold an edge longer in steel than plain carbon blades, and the multiple grinding technology extends cutting life. Running at the recommended speed for the material is what stretches it furthest.
