- Reduced breakthrough impact with step center pilot drill
- Protects components at shallow depths via shouldered body
- Easy slug removal aided by ejector spring
- Precision holes in sheet metal with carbide tip
4-1/2 Inch Carbide Hole Cutter
The Morse CTS72 hole cutter measures 114 millimetres in diameter and uses carbide-tipped teeth for cutting sheet metal. It is aimed at electricians and panel builders who need accurate openings in control panels or electrical boxes. One cutter is supplied per box.
Ground Teeth and Step Pilot Drill
A ground tooth profile produces clean, fast cuts while the step centre pilot drill reduces breakthrough impact. The shouldered cutter body stops the tool from passing through thin material, protecting components behind the workpiece. An ejector spring helps remove the slug after each cut.
Suited for Shallow Sheet Metal Work
This cutter suits tradespeople making precision holes at shallow depths in sheet metal. It is not intended for thick plate, structural steel or materials that require a deeper cutting depth than the shouldered body allows. Buyers needing replacement pilot drills or ejector springs should order parts 166010 and 166027 separately.

Questions about this item
Which replacement pilot drill and ejector spring part numbers fit the CTS72 hole cutter?
The compatible replacement parts are pilot drill CTSP (166010) and ejector spring CTSS (166027).
What controls the maximum cutting depth before the cutter body shoulders contact the workpiece?
The shouldered cutter body is designed to stop pass-through at shallow depths, protecting components behind the sheet metal.
How much heat builds up in the carbide teeth during continuous cutting in sheet metal?
The ground tooth profile is engineered for clean, fast cuts that reduce friction and heat accumulation during extended use.
