Frequently Asked Questions About Lauxes Grates TCT Hole Saws For Pop Waste Outlet
Q: Can I use this hole saw on stainless steel or other metals?
A: These hole saws are specifically designed for cutting aluminium, particularly for Lauxes grates. While they may cut softer metals, they are not recommended for harder metals like stainless steel. Use a bi-metal or specialised metal-cutting hole saw for that purpose.
Q: Do I need a separate arbor or pilot drill?
A: No, the Lauxes TCT Hole Saws come as a complete unit including the arbor and pilot drill. This saves setup time and ensures compatibility with standard power drills used by Australian tradespeople.
Q: How many cuts can I expect from one saw?
A: With proper use, each TCT hole saw can last up to 10 times longer than standard bi-metal saws. The actual number of cuts depends on application technique and material thickness but can range from dozens to over 100 cuts in aluminium.
Q: What drill speed is best for these saws?
A: Use a medium drill speed for optimal performance. Too high a speed may generate excessive heat; too low may cause chattering. Ensure you use consistent pressure and clear chips regularly to maintain cutting efficiency.
Q: Are these suitable for wet areas like bathrooms and balconies?
A: Yes, these saws are specifically designed to work with Lauxes grates commonly used in bathrooms, balconies, and other wet areas. Their precision and cleanliness reduce the risk of alignment errors or seal failure during installation.

How to apply Lauxes Grates TCT Hole Saws For Pop Waste Outlet:
- Select the correct hole saw size (40mm, 50mm, 72mm, or 80mm) to match the Lauxes grate waste outlet being installed.
- Secure the aluminium grate or panel to prevent movement during drilling. Use clamps where appropriate.
- Attach the TCT hole saw to a standard power drill (no additional arbor required). Ensure drill is at medium speed.
- Apply steady pressure and allow the saw to cut without forcing it. Let the escape angle discharge chips naturally.
- Pause if needed to clear debris from the saw teeth. Clean edges as required post-cut using a deburring tool.
