Overview

NSI Industries TCT78S T.C.T. Hole Cutter is a shallow-cut tool designed for precision hole creation in sheet metal, metal plates, stainless steel, and aluminum. With a 7/8 inch cutting diameter and 3/16 inch cutting depth, this cutter is optimized for applications requiring shallow penetration without full-thickness removal. The 3/8 inch arbor size ensures compatibility with standard drill chucks and power tools, providing versatility across fabrication, HVAC, automotive, and general metalworking tasks. The T.C.T. (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) design delivers superior wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel cutters, extending tool life in abrasive materials like stainless steel and aluminum. Unlike deep-cut hole cutters, the TCT78S minimizes material waste and reduces secondary finishing operations by limiting cut depth to 3/16 inch. This makes it ideal for creating pilot holes, vent slots, or clearance holes where full-depth cuts are unnecessary. The cutter’s shallow cut design also reduces burr formation and heat generation, preserving edge quality in thin-gauge metals. Backed by NSI Industries’ precision manufacturing, the TCT78S meets industrial standards for dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Note: Arbor size is 3/8 inch; verify compatibility with your drill chuck before use.
