Hole Saw · 4-1/8 in (105 mm) · Tri-Bore Carbide-Tipped Multi-Purpose · IDEAL 36-359
What this product is for
This 4-1/8 in (105 mm) IDEAL Tri-Bore hole saw is a carbide-tipped multi-purpose cutter for larger openings in abrasive and non-metal materials. It is intended for trade use where standard bi-metal hole saws may wear quickly in cement board, composite enclosures, ceiling tile, or wood containing nails.
Use for
Use for cutting approximately 4-1/8 in (105 mm) holes in wood with nails, cement board, composite enclosures, ceiling tile, and similar abrasive materials. It is commonly used by electricians and contractors when modifying panels, enclosures, or wall and ceiling materials for larger device or access openings.
Avoid for
Avoid using this product as a general-purpose sheet-metal cutter or for applications outside the manufacturer-listed material range. For metal-specific cutting, match the cutter style to the material thickness and type.
Best for
Best for electricians who need a larger carbide-tipped hole saw for abrasive materials and jobsite conditions that can damage conventional tooth-style saws. The deep-cup Tri-Bore design also supports larger cut sizes in the series.
Installed in
Used with compatible IDEAL Tri-Bore hole saw arbors, including 35-394 for this size range, and with Tri-Bore pilot bits ordered separately. The catalogue notes that the deep-cup design requires a longer pilot bit.
Why this product exists
This hole saw exists to give contractors a carbide-tipped option for abrasive materials where faster wear is common with standard hole saws. For buying guidance, carbide-tipped cutters are typically selected when the material includes cement board, composites, or embedded fasteners. Actual cutting speed and tool life depend on drill speed, pressure, material thickness, and installation conditions.
Compared with similar products
Compared with bi-metal hole saws, this Tri-Bore model is positioned for abrasive non-metal materials and wood with nails. Compared with smaller carbide hole cutters for sheet steel, this product is a larger deep-cup hole saw format that requires the correct arbor and pilot arrangement.
