Morse CTD36 Hole Cutter 2-1/4 in 57mm

SKU CH-BD6R-YK3KW

Carbide-tipped 57 mm cutter drills clean holes in thick sheet metal and plate

  • Clean, fast cuts from ground tooth profile
  • Reduced break-through impact with step center pilot drill
  • Prevents pass-through with shouldered cutter body
  • Efficient chip removal via grooved gullet
  • Easy slug removal aided by ejector spring

Precision Hole Cutting for Thick Metal

The Morse CTD36 carbide tipped hole cutter creates clean 57mm diameter holes in thick sheet metal and plate. Its ground tooth profile delivers fast, precise cuts while the step centre pilot drill reduces breakthrough impact. A shouldered cutter body prevents pass through during operation. This tool suits metalworkers and fabricators needing accurate large diameter holes.

Efficient Chip Management and Slug Removal

Grooved gullets direct chips up and away from the cut to maintain cutting efficiency. An ejector spring aids in slug removal after the hole is complete. The carbide tips maintain sharpness through demanding applications. One cutter is supplied per box for immediate use.

57mm Diameter Defines the Application

The fixed 2-1/4 inch (57mm) cutting diameter determines whether this cutter matches the required hole size. Replacement pilot drill CTDP 16700 and ejector spring CTDS 167017 are available separately. Buyers needing different diameters must select another cutter model.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Morse CTD36 hole cutter and what step do people often miss?

Mount the cutter in your drill press or magnetic drill chuck, align the step center pilot drill with your centre mark, and apply steady feed pressure; the step most users miss is confirming the ejector spring is seated so the slug releases cleanly.

What maintenance or replacement parts will the Morse CTD36 hole cutter need over time?

The carbide teeth stay sharp longest, but the CTDP (16700) pilot drill and CTDS (167017) ejector spring are the wear items — keep spares and swap them when the pilot dulls or the spring loses tension.

What limit appears first when using the Morse CTD36 hole cutter continuously in thick plate?

Heat buildup in the carbide tips and pilot drill becomes the limiting factor; reduce feed rate and use cutting fluid to prevent premature tooth wear and pilot failure.
