Hole Saw · 2-9/16 in (65 mm) · Tri-Bore multi-purpose carbide-tipped · IDEAL 36-353
What this product is for
The IDEAL 36-353 is a Tri-Bore multi-purpose hole saw sized at 2-9/16 in (65 mm) for electricians and contractors cutting larger openings in abrasive and mixed materials. It is commonly selected where a carbide-tipped saw is preferred over a standard bi-metal hole saw for tougher materials.
Use for
Use for cutting wood with nails, cement board, composite enclosures, ceiling tile and similar abrasive non-metal materials. This size is commonly used for approximately 2 in pipe or conduit openings where the finished hole size needs extra clearance.
Avoid for
Avoid using this hole saw as a general-purpose choice for heavy structural steel, thick stainless steel, or applications outside the manufacturer’s listed material range. Do not assume it includes the arbor or pilot bit.
Best for
Best for service work, panel modifications, enclosure entries, and rough-in tasks where clean larger-diameter cuts are needed in abrasive materials. It is also a practical choice when cutting through wood that may contain nails.
Installed in
Typically used on jobs involving electrical rooms, service equipment, composite or non-metallic enclosures, renovation work, and general commercial or residential electrical installations.
Why this product exists
This hole saw is designed to give electricians a longer-life option for materials that wear out standard hole saws quickly. The Tri-Bore design uses carbide teeth and a deep-cup style intended for faster cutting in wood and abrasive materials, with separate pilot options depending on the material being drilled.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a standard bi-metal hole saw, this carbide-tipped model is better suited to abrasive materials and wood with embedded nails. Compared with self-feed bits, it is typically chosen when a round finished opening is needed for pipe, conduit, or enclosure entries. Actual cutting speed and life depend on drill speed, pressure, material thickness, and installation conditions.
