Morse CTD42 Hole Cutter 67 mm
The Morse CTD42 is a carbide tipped hole cutter built for precision holes in thicker sheet metal and plate. Its ground tooth profile delivers clean, fast cuts for metal fabrication tasks. The 67 mm diameter suits specific conduit or pipe entry sizes. One cutter is supplied per box for immediate use.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a non powered accessory the cutter generates no electrical noise or power draw of its own. Cutting heat is managed by the ground tooth profile and grooved gullet that directs chips away from the cut. The step centre pilot drill reduces breakthrough impact for smoother operation. Performance depends on the driving tool and feed rate used.
Build fit and clearance
The cutter requires a compatible power tool with a suitable chuck or arbor for the pilot drill. Shouldered cutter body prevents pass through and limits depth to the workpiece thickness. Replacement pilot drill CTDP 16700 and ejector spring CTDS 167017 are available separately. It does not suit thin sheet applications where a step drill or smaller cutter is preferred.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Morse CTD42 hole cutter and what step do people often miss?
Chuck the 67 mm carbide-tipped cutter into a compatible drill press or mag drill, align the CTDP 16700 pilot drill with your centre mark, and engage the ejector spring CTDS 167017 before cutting; the step most users skip is seating the spring fully so the slug ejects cleanly.
What maintenance or replacement parts will this cutter need over time?
The ground carbide teeth cannot be resharpened in the field, so plan to replace the entire CTD42 167314 cutter when cut quality drops; the CTDP 16700 pilot drill and CTDS 167017 ejector spring are available separately and should be swapped whenever they show wear or loss of tension.
What limit appears first during sustained cutting with this 67 mm cutter?
Heat buildup in the thicker sheet metal or plate is the first limiting factor; the grooved gullet clears chips efficiently, but without coolant pauses the carbide tips and shouldered body overheat, reducing cut speed and tooth life.
