Pipe Fittings — round shank, hard alloy Key benefits Creates clean, accurate openings: designed for consistent hole cutting and clean edges across a range of materials. Durable, wearresistant construction: hard alloy cutting surface holds its edge longer for reliable performance over repeated use. Stable and safer operation: round shank design secures in compatible tool chucks/collets to reduce vibration and improve control. What it does Intended for making openings in wood, plywood, plastics and similar materials. Use it where precise, repeatable holes or passages are required. Compatibility and specifications Tool shank type: round shank — fits power tools and holders that accept roundshank fittings. Material: hard alloy — built for durability and consistent cutting performance. Function: pipe fittings for creating openings; suitable for applications that require accurate hole shapes and sizes. Practical use scenarios Installing plumbing or conduit: cut clean openings through studs, plywood or paneling to route pipes or conduit with minimal chipping. Cabinet and fixture work: produce precise entry holes in plywood or laminated panels for mounting hardware or running cables. Plastic and composite fabrication: make controlled openings in plastic panels, trim or composite sheets for vents, sockets or fasteners. Care and performance tips Use with a properly sized, securely tightened chuck or collet for stability. Match cutting speed and feed rate to the material being worked to preserve the hard alloy edge and maintain accuracy. Inspect and when wear affects cutting quality to maintain safe, accurate results.
