4-1/2" Carbide Tipped Hole Cutter
The Drill America CTH4500 is a pneumatic accessory designed for cutting large diameter holes in metal. It suits maintenance technicians and fabricators who need to drill stainless steel, cast iron, iron, sheet metal or copper without large chucks. The carbide tipped teeth provide extra long lifespan on abrasive materials like high density resin and metal plates.
Auto ejecting slug and pilot drill included
Premium grade high speed steel construction carries carbide tipped teeth for durability in daily workshop use. An auto ejecting slug clears the cut automatically, reducing downtime between holes. Each cutter ships with a pilot drill and hex key, so the operator can start work immediately without sourcing separate centring tools.
Rated for over 300 holes in stainless steel
The 1 inch depth of cut defines the maximum material thickness this cutter can penetrate in a single pass. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users requiring deeper cuts or different diameters will need a separate cutter.

Questions about this item
What shank size does the 4-1/2" cutter need to fit my pneumatic tool?
The accessory uses a standard shank that fits common pneumatic drill chucks; the included hex key tightens the pilot drill securely.
What is the maximum material thickness the 1" depth of cut can handle?
The cutter is rated for a 1 inch depth of cut, limiting it to plates and sheets no thicker than that dimension.
How do I install the pilot drill so the slug ejects automatically?
Insert the supplied pilot drill into the cutter body and lock it with the provided hex key; a loose set screw prevents the auto-eject mechanism from working.
