Bosch Power Tools and Accessories has introduced its new carbide hole saw, the industry's first hole saw specifically designed for the toughest construction materials. The carbide hole saw can easily cut through wood, ceramic tile (floor and wall), brick and cinder block, cement board, fiber cement board, and plastic.

The diamond-ground carbide teeth are extraordinarily durable and extremely powerful, for fast removal of materials. The drop-shaped chip clearance slots allow for greater chip and dust removal, resulting in uninterrupted cutting.

"Feedback from our customers was overwhelming for the need for a single hole saw that could cut through multiple materials and quickly remove the plug," states James Mogle, Product Manager, Bosch Power Tools and Accessories. "The new carbide hole saw easily cuts some of the hardest materials and can still make precision cuts in fragile materials such as tile. And users can quickly change hole saw sizes with the quick change mandrel."

The carbide line has 19 cups ranging from 1" to 4-1/8". For multiple cutting applications, Bosch has two sets available. Each set contains two carbide tipped pilot bits and the quick change mandrel (1-3/8"). The eight-piece set includes five carbide cups ranging from 1-3/16" to 2-
