Morse CTD315 50 mm Hole Cutter

The Morse CTD315 is a carbide-tipped hole cutter built for precision boring in thicker sheet metal and plate. Its 50 mm diameter suits trade professionals and fabricators who need clean, accurate holes in heavy-gauge material. Ground tooth geometry produces fast cuts with minimal burr. A shouldered body prevents accidental pass-through during deep cuts.

Practical limits of carbide-tipped cutting

Carbide tips hold an edge longer than high-speed steel but are brittle under shock or misalignment. The step centre pilot drill reduces breakthrough impact, yet the cutter still requires rigid tool holding and steady feed pressure to avoid chipping. Grooved gullets direct chips upward, though evacuation slows in deep plates without periodic withdrawal. The ejector spring aids slug removal but does not eliminate the need to clear debris manually in continuous operations.

Upgrading from bi-metal hole saws

Bi-metal saws wear quickly in thick plate and often leave rough edges that require deburring. The CTD315 replaces them when hole quality and tool life outweigh the higher upfront cost. Replacement pilot drill CTDP (16700) and ejector spring CTDS (167017) extend service life further. The jump is worth it for shops cutting multiple holes per shift in material over 6 mm thick where rework time matters.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 50 mm Morse CTD315 or a different diameter cutter?

The CTD315 is a single 50 mm diameter cutter. Select it when the hole size required matches that exact diameter; other Morse cutters cover different sizes.

What does the 50 mm diameter mean when the cutter is mounted in a drill press?

It produces a precise 50 mm hole in thick sheet metal or plate. The ground tooth profile gives a clean cut, and the step pilot drill reduces breakthrough impact.

How does the Morse CTD315 interface with the machine, and what does that limit?

The cutter uses a standard shank that fits common drill presses and magnetic drills. The shouldered body prevents over-penetration, limiting the cut depth to the cutter's designed length.
