Product Description
The MALCO cb is a mill-type replacement cutter bit designed for use with MALCO hole cutters in sheet metal cutting applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) and finished in a distinctive gold color, this bit delivers fast, clean cuts through materials including 20-gauge galvanized steel. The bit measures 1.5 inches wide, 0.25 inches in diameter, and 0.75 inches in height. It is a direct replacement component for professionals who depend on hole cutters daily and need a fast, reliable swap to keep tools performing at full capacity. HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers are the primary installers of this type of bit.
The MALCO cb cutter bit is compatible with MALCO HC1 and HC2 hole cutters. The HC1 model handles hole diameters from 2 to 12 inches, while the HC2 handles diameters from 2 to 20 inches. Both models use the same mill-type cutter bit, making this a single replacement part that serves either tool. The bit installs into hole cutters that chuck into any corded or cordless drill with a minimum 0.25-inch chuck. It suits a range of sheet metal hole cutting tasks found in residential and commercial HVAC duct fabrication and related trade work.

Installation Notes
Installation is performed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers as routine tool maintenance. Power down and unplug or remove the battery from the drill before replacing the cutter bit. Follow the tool manufacturer's instructions for bit removal and seating to ensure the bit is secured properly before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the pivot pin and bearing components when replacing the bit, as these parts work together and may show similar wear.
