Is it also a metal or wood hole cutter?
The exact product’s stated materials are drywall and ceiling tile. Do not apply those limits to metal, wood or other board products without manufacturer approval.
Which service parts should I check when the cut deteriorates?
Inspect the cutting blades and pilot bit. The exact source identifies replacement blade and pilot-bit kit 49-56-0290; disconnect power before servicing.
