Description
The M.K. Morse AV66 4-1/8″ (105mm) Hole Saw is a professional-grade bi-metal tool designed for versatile cutting across various materials, featuring a variable pitch tooth design to reduce vibration and improve efficiency. It has been largely replaced by the Advanced Bi-Metal (MHS66) model, which offers improved durability and a deeper cutting capacity.
Core Specifications
According to technical data from Power Tool and Supply and Grainger, the standard AV66 model includes:
- Diameter: 4-1/8 inches (105 mm).
- Cutting Depth: 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) for standard AV models; the updated MHS66 version increases this to 1-15/16 inches (49.2 mm).
- Tooth Pitch: 4/6 variable pitch (Teeth Per Inch) designed to clear chips smoothly.
- Material Construction: M3 or M42 high-speed steel cutting edge electron-beam welded to a tough steel backer.
- Thread Size: 5/8″-18, requiring a separate arbor for operation.
Key Features and Performance
Reviewers and manufacturers highlight several performance-enhancing design elements:
- Variable Pitch Teeth: This design allows for smoother, faster cuts with less vibration compared to fixed-pitch saws.
- Enhanced Durability: The MHS66 replacement model is reported to offer over 2x the life of the original Morse AV model.
- Reduced Friction: Newer iterations feature an exterior red coating that reduces side-wall friction during high-speed cutting.
- Efficient Slug Removal: Includes a large side slot to provide better leverage for removing the “slug” after a cut is completed.
- Sturdy Cap Design: The solid cap reduces runout and vibration, which leads to a more accurate and stable hole.
Recommended Applications
The M.K. Morse AV66 series is effective on a wide range of materials:
- Metals: Stainless steel, mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and copper.
- Wood: All types, including plywood and nail-embedded wood.
- Others: Plastics, rubber, fiberboard, sheetrock/drywall, and wood composites.
Note: For the best performance in specific materials, Empire Abrasives recommends different speeds, such as 85 RPM for mild steel and 40 RPM for stainless steel.
