Bosch HBT400 4-Inch Bi-Metal M42 Cobalt Progressor Tooth Hole Saw

The Bosch HBT400 4-Inch Bi-Metal M42 Hole Saw is an industrial drilling accessory engineered for boring 4-inch clearance holes through sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, dimensional lumber, drywall panels, and PVC conduit. Formulated with an M42 bi-metal alloy containing 8% cobalt for heat resistance and 20% longer service life, this hole saw features a Progressor tooth geometry with alternating tooth sizes to accelerate cutting speeds. Outfitted with a deep 1.75-inch cup depth, reinforced cup shoulders, and triangular plug-removal slots, this accessory executes pipe penetrations for MEP contractors.

Best Used For:

  • Plumbing & HVAC Pipe Rough-Ins: Boring 4-inch diameter clearance holes through joists and subfloors for drain lines and ductwork.
  • Electrical Panel & Junction Box Penetrations: Cutting clean entry holes through sheet metal enclosures and plastic utility boxes.
  • Drywall & Wall Sheathing Layout: Drilling precise openings in drywall panels and exterior plywood sheathing for vent penetrations.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • M42 Alloy with 8% Cobalt Content: Provides thermal endurance under heavy friction to extend cutter lifespan by 20% over standard bi-metal saws.
  • Progressor Alternating Tooth Geometry: Combines small and large tooth profiles to clear chips rapidly and maintain fast cutting speeds.
  • Triangular Plug-Removal Side Slots: Strategic side cutouts provide leverage points for fast plug ejection and heat dissipation.
  • Deep 1.75-Inch Cutting Cup: Allows single-pass drilling through 2x dimensional lumber and thick composite materials.
  • Reinforced Heavy-Duty Shoulder Base: Strengthened base plate reduces flex and prevents cup fracture under high rotational torque.
