In regards to the new adjustable hole cutter just announced a few month or so ago, does anyone know what the cutters on it are made of, will it handle plaster??

also where to get it and pricing?

Thanks

I don’t think that has hit the market as of yet and from what I can tell it looks like the Klein adjustable hole cutter and it is for dry wall. You could try but I don’t think that it will last long. You best bet is a Bi metal hole saw for plaster and plaster will tear them up.

That’s what I figured.. somebody’s gotta make one with carbide cutters

I used to use bimetal holesaws but man do they wear out quick in plaster. I also used to just regrind the teeth with my angle grinder but it’s such a hassle.

I’ve started using carbide grit rim holesaws and they actually work great..

Was just considering another possible option

Yeah I have the milwakee hole saws, they cut through anything. But they don’t last
