Hole saw Bosch PRO 68 mm Progressor PC Plus – model 2608594398 for metal and wood

Bosch PRO 68 mm hole saw Progressor PC Plus is engineered to cut precise circular openings in metal and wood with a 68 mm diameter. The cutting geometry and tooth design are optimized for efficient material removal and clean edges, enabling accurate hole-making for installation, plumbing, electrical work, and workshop projects. The tool fits standard hole saw arbors and is intended for use with compatible drills and appropriate personal protective equipment.

Advantages

The Progressor PC Plus tooth geometry delivers smooth cutting performance and reduced vibration when drilling through both metal and wood. Its construction provides longer life under normal working conditions and helps produce cleaner hole edges, reducing the need for secondary finishing. Compatibility with common arbors makes it quick to mount and change, saving time during installation tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting circular openings for plumbing and pipe penetrations in wood and thin metal panels
• Creating holes for electrical boxes, conduits, and cable routing
• Workshop tasks requiring repetitive circular cuts in light to medium gauge metal and timber
• Installation work where precise 68 mm holes are required

How to use

Secure a compatible arbor in the drill and mount the hole saw firmly. Mark the center point of the desired hole, use a pilot bit or center punch if necessary, and position the drill perpendicular to the work surface. Start drilling at low speed to establish the cut, then increase speed as appropriate for the material while applying steady, even pressure. Periodically clear chips from the cut to maintain efficiency. For metal work, use cutting lubricant to reduce heat and prolong tool life. Always follow drill manufacturer recommendations for speeds and feed rates.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material being cut, and employ cutting fluid when drilling metal to reduce heat and wear. Inspect the hole saw regularly for wear or damaged teeth and replace if cutting quality degrades.
