Morse CTD34 Hole Cutter Metal 54mm

Precision metal hole cutter

The Morse CTD34 is a carbide-tipped hole cutter built for 54 mm diameter holes in thicker sheet metal and plate. Its ground tooth profile produces clean, fast cuts while a step centre pilot drill reduces breakthrough impact. A shouldered cutter body prevents pass-through and an ejector spring eases slug removal. One cutter is supplied per box.

Sheet-metal fabricators and maintenance crews

Tradespeople cutting precise 54 mm openings in heavy gauge metal will benefit from the chip-directing grooved gullet and slug-ejection spring. The tool is not suited for wood, plastics or thin-sheet work where a standard bi-metal saw would be more appropriate. Buyers needing multiple diameters or a complete kit should look at a multi-size set instead.

Sustained cutting in thick plate

Under continuous use the carbide tips retain sharpness longer than high-speed steel, while the grooved gullet clears chips away from the cut to reduce heat build-up. The step pilot drill keeps the cutter centred through the full depth, and the ejector spring consistently clears the slug so the operator can maintain feed pressure without frequent stops.
