Klein Tools 31860 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What thickness of sheet metal will the Klein carbide hole cutter go through?
Up to 3/16 inch (0.5 cm) of sheet, in stainless steel, mild steel, iron, copper and brass. That covers enclosure walls, panel doors, strut and most gauge sheet an electrician runs into. Thicker plate is outside what these cutters are meant for.
2) What replacement pilot bit fits the Klein carbide hole cutter?
Pilot bit 31874. The pilot is a split point design so it bites without walking across the sheet, and it is the wear part, so keep a spare in the pouch rather than retiring the whole cutter when the point dulls.
3) Will a carbide hole cutter punch through the back of an electrical enclosure?
No. There is an integrated flange behind the cutting edge that stops the tool from driving past the sheet metal once the slug releases, so you are not pushing into wiring or the far wall of a box. That flange is also why these are for sheet work and not for deep stock.
4) What cutter diameters does Klein offer in this carbide hole cutter line?
Five diameters: 1-3/8 inch (31860), 1-7/16 inch (31862), 1-1/2 inch (31864), 1-3/4 inch (31866) and 2 inch (31868). Order by the hole you need, not by the conduit trade size.
5) Should I use a carbide hole cutter or a knockout punch set for enclosure holes?
A knockout punch is the cleaner choice when you can get behind the panel and have time to set the draw stud, especially on thicker gauge. The Klein carbide cutter runs off a drill from one side only, which is what you want on an installed enclosure, strut, or a panel you cannot reach the back of. Stay within 3/16 inch sheet thickness either way.
6) Is a carbide hole cutter safe to use on stainless steel enclosures?
Yes, stainless is one of the listed materials along with mild steel, iron, copper and brass. Carbide holds an edge in stainless where a bi-metal hole saw dulls fast. Wear approved eye protection, and make sure anyone standing nearby has it too, since the chips come off hot.
