Metallics TCT218DT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics TCT218DT hole cutter make?
The TCT218DT cuts a 2-1/8 inch diameter hole, with a 1-3/8 inch cutting depth. That 2-1/8 inch diameter is the standard cross-bore size for lockset and deadbolt prep, so it also covers the common door-prep hole as well as larger electrical knockout work.
2) Will a 1-3/8 inch deep hole cutter go all the way through a 1-3/4 inch door?
Not in one pass. The TCT218DT has a 1-3/8 inch cutting depth, which is short of the 1-3/4 inch thickness of a standard commercial door. On a 1-3/4 inch door you cut from one face, then finish from the opposite face to meet the first cut, which is the normal way to keep the bore clean and avoid blowing out the veneer anyway.
3) What is the exact part number to order the Metallics 2-1/8 inch hole cutter?
Order it as Metallics TCT218DT. That is the only model, so there are no finish, size, or arbor variations to specify.
4) Is this hole cutter meant for electrical work or for door hardware prep?
Metallics catalogs the TCT218DT as electrical trade tooling, and at 2-1/8 inches it suits boring for conduit fittings and larger device openings. The same 2-1/8 inch diameter happens to be the standard lock cross-bore, so contractors and property maintenance crews use it both ways. The 1-3/8 inch depth is the limit on how thick a material it will clear in a single pass.
