Hole Saw · 2-1/4 in (57 mm) Diameter · Tri-Bore Multi-Purpose Carbide Edge · IDEAL 36-352
What this product is for
This 2-1/4 in (57 mm) IDEAL Tri-Bore multi-purpose hole saw is used to cut larger round openings in materials commonly encountered on electrical and general construction work. Manufacturer and distributor sources identify it as a Tri-Bore multi-purpose hole saw with a carbide cutting edge for use across multiple materials.
Use for
- Drywall and ceiling tile openings
- Wood and plywood cutouts
- Plastic and composite material openings
- Thin metal where a carbide multi-purpose hole saw is appropriate
- Electrical rough-in and retrofit work requiring a 2-1/4 in (57 mm) hole
Avoid for
- Applications requiring an exact knockout-size substitute without confirming finished hole size
- Heavy plate, stainless, or material outside the manufacturer’s intended use
- Use without confirming the correct arbor
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors who need one hole saw for mixed-material work rather than changing between wood-only and light-metal cutting accessories. A practical buying point is the 2-1/4 in (57 mm) diameter, which manufacturer literature associates with applications around 1-1/2 in pipe with couplings.
Installed in
Typically used on site in panels, enclosures, boxes, wall assemblies, plywood backboards and similar field-fabricated openings, depending on the material being cut and the finished clearance required.
Why this product exists
This hole saw is intended to give tradespeople a single carbide-edge option for common mixed-material cutting tasks. That can reduce tool changes on service, retrofit and rough-in work where openings may pass through drywall, wood, plastic or light-gauge material.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a bi-metal hole saw, a carbide-edge multi-purpose hole saw is typically chosen when the cut may encounter varied materials on the same job. Compared with knockout punches, a hole saw is generally the field choice when access is limited or when working in wood, drywall or plastic rather than standard sheet-metal knockout applications.
Typical trade guidance: hole saw selection should match the finished opening needed, not just the nominal raceway size. Actual performance depends on material, drill speed, pressure, lubrication where required, and local job conditions.
