High Speed Steel (HSS) Hole Saws

High-speed steel (HSS) hole saws are ideal for cutting through softer materials such as wood, plastic, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum. HSS is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain sharpness over extended periods, making it a durable material choice for hole saws.

These hole saws are commonly used in industrial applications where speed and efficiency are important. HSS hole saws are designed to provide fast, clean cuts while minimizing the risk of overheating or material distortion. They are often used in woodworking, light metalworking, and DIY projects due to their excellent cutting performance on softer materials.

HSS hole saws are typically more affordable than carbide-tipped and bi-metal hole saws, making them a cost-effective option for less demanding tasks. However, they are not suitable for cutting through harder materials like stainless steel or cast iron.
