Multi-Purpose Hole Saw · 4-3/8 in (111 mm) · Tri-Bore carbide-tipped design · Ideal Industries 36-360
What this product is for
The Ideal Industries 36-360 Tri-Bore multi-purpose hole saw is a 4-3/8 in (111 mm) carbide-tipped cutter for electricians and contractors making larger openings in wood with nails, cement board, composite enclosures and ceiling tile.
Use for
Use for recessed lighting cut-ins and similar round openings where a 4-3/8 in (111 mm) hole is required. Manufacturer literature lists this size for Capri, Halo, Marco and Mini Juno applications.
Avoid for
Avoid using this as a general-purpose metal hole saw for thick steel or stainless applications. It is intended for multi-material electrical trade work in abrasive materials and wood-based assemblies, with the correct arbour and pilot.
Best for
Best for electricians who need one hole saw for mixed site conditions, especially when cutting through wood that may contain nails or when working with cement board and composite electrical enclosures.
Installed in
Typically used on site in residential and light commercial electrical work, including ceilings, wall assemblies, panel modifications and retrofit lighting openings where the specified hole size matches the device or trim.
Why this product exists
This Tri-Bore design is built to cut faster than self-feed bits in wood and faster than carbide grit tools in abrasive materials, while giving electricians a single cutter for several common materials. For practical buying guidance, a dedicated recessed-lighting hole saw size can reduce rework when the trim or housing calls for an exact opening. Actual fit depends on the fixture manufacturer and model.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a bi-metal hole saw, this carbide-tipped Tri-Bore style is better suited to abrasive materials and wood with embedded nails. Compared with a self-feed bit, it is intended for larger finished openings rather than rough boring. Pilot bit and arbour are not included and must match the Tri-Bore system.
