Lenox 20096 Carbide Tipped Hole Cutter 1-1/8 Inch

Product Description

The LENOX 20096 is a carbide tipped hole cutter designed for cutting clean, accurate holes in a variety of materials encountered in trade work. The 18CHC-series cutter delivers a 1-1/8 inch (29mm) cut diameter, making it a go-to size for conduit knockouts, pipe penetrations, and similar trade applications. Carbide tipped construction provides extended edge life compared to standard bi-metal designs, reducing the frequency of bit changes on the job. At 0.25 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-unit tool suited for repeated use in tight or overhead installations.

This hole cutter is used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians when precise, consistent hole diameters are required in sheet metal, steel panels, electrical enclosures, and similar substrates. The 1-1/8 inch diameter is a commonly specified size for conduit and small pipe fittings. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or add-on for an existing hole cutter set or arbor kit.

Installation Notes

Hole cutter installation and use is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or HVAC technicians.
