Description

One Tool. Every Round Hole in Sheet Metal You'll Ever Need to Cut. Step bits chew. Hole saws bind. Knockout punch sets take time to set up. The Malco HC1 does none of that. It installs into the chuck of any 1/4-inch or larger drill in seconds, adjusts to any diameter between 2 and 12 inches in 1/8-inch increments, and cuts clean, accurate round holes through 20-gauge galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and 22-gauge stainless. HVAC installers use it for register openings and collar holes. Sheet metal workers use it for take-off cutouts and equipment knockouts. If the hole is round and the material is metal, this is how you cut it. The Gold Standard bits earn that name. The distinctive gold cutter bit, sealed bearings, and pivot pin aren't marketing, they represent Malco's longest-lasting, fastest-cutting, easiest-adjusting hole cutter design. The mill-type cutting edge wears only in the dimension of the material thickness, so you get multiple cutting lives from a single bit by sliding it up or down to expose a fresh edge. Precision-fit sealed bearings keep rotation smooth and vibration-free at full cutting depth. Replacement bits are available in singles (CB) or 6-packs (CBB). Lightweight, portable, ready to work. The aluminum frame keeps the HC1 light enough for a tool pouch without trading away rigidity. It travels between jobs the same way your hand tools do without the need for a case or dedicated storage. Same replacement parts as the HC2, so one set of spare bits covers your full Malco hole cutter lineup. For 2"–20" holes: see Malco HC2. Replacement bits: CB (single) & CBB (6-pack). REACH/RoHS compliant. The HC1 installs into the chuck of any corded or cordless drill with a 1/4-inch or larger chuck and punches precise round holes through 20-gauge galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and 22-gauge stainless. Adjustable in 1/8-inch increments across the full 2"–12" diameter range. The mill-type cutting edge wears only in the dimension of the material thickness being cut. When the active cutting zone dulls, slide the bit up or down to expose a fresh edge and keep cutting. Precision-fit sealed bearings deliver smooth, vibration-free rotation at the full rated capacity. The HC1's aluminum frame keeps the tool light without sacrificing rigidity. Fits easily in a tool bag or pouch between jobs with no dedicated case required. Installs into the drill chuck in seconds and stores just as fast. Cuts 20-gauge galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and 22-gauge stainless steel, covering the materials commonly used in HVAC installation, ductwork fabrication, and sheet metal work. From register openings and collar holes to take-off cutouts and knockout holes, the HC1 delivers a clean, round hole.
