Milwaukee Electric Tool 49-56-0173 Ice Hardened Bi-Metal Hole Saw 3 Die 8 Cobalt

Product Description MLW49-56-0173 Features and Benefits: -Ice Hardened for up to 50pct longer life than competition. -Optimized tooth form for up to 2 times faster cutting. -Functional slots for faster plug removal. -Matrix II bi-metal teeth for greater durability. Milwaukee Ice Hardened products utilize a proprietary cryogenic hardening process that improves upon traditional heat treat processes. Unlike surface coatings that wear away, cryogenics harden to the core by minimizing soft metal (austenite) and creating more hard metal (marten site). The result is a product that is more consistently hard throughout, resulting in life up to 50pct longer than the competition. RPM mild steel: 115 RPM stainless steel: 55 RPM cast iron: 75 RPM aluminum: 170 -3'''' Ice Hardened Hole Saw.-Repair Only. From the Manufacturer Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces Ice Hardened hole saws, a new generation of hole saws that offer up to 50-Percent longer life than the competition and are ideal for metal and wood cutting in a wide variety of HVAC, electrical, plumbing and maintenance/repair applications. Milwaukee Ice Hardened products utilize a proprietary cryogenic hardening process that improves upon traditional heat treat processes.

The result is a product that is more consistently hard throughout, resulting in life up to 50-Percent longer than the competition. Milwaukee Ice Hardened hole saws also feature Matrix II bi-metal construction for greater durability and a unique precision-ground tooth geometry for faster cutting. A positive rake angle cuts more aggressively while deeper gullets quickly remove chips. A radiused back face reduces stress on the teeth, ensuring that the blade delivers optimum life and speed. Functional slot geometry allows for a standard slotted screwdriver to fit completely underneath the plug for easier plug removal.
