Hole Saw · 4-5/8 in (117 mm) · TRI-Bore Multi-Purpose Carbide-Tipped · IDEAL 36-361
What this product is for
This 4-5/8 in (117 mm) IDEAL TRI-Bore hole saw is used for cutting larger round openings in materials such as wood, ceiling tile and cement board. It is a carbide-tipped multi-purpose hole saw intended for trade use where cleaner cutting and longer life in abrasive materials are important.
Use for
Use for larger electrical and mechanical rough-in openings, panel or enclosure modifications where the material suits a carbide-tipped hole saw, and general-purpose cutting in wood-based sheet material, ceiling tile and cement board. A 4-5/8 in size is commonly chosen when a larger finished opening is needed.
Avoid for
Avoid using this hole saw on materials outside the listed applications unless suitability is confirmed by the manufacturer. For heavy structural steel, stainless steel, or applications requiring a different tooth form or cutter style, select a hole saw specifically rated for that material.
Best for
Best for electricians, contractors and maintenance teams who need a large-diameter carbide hole saw for abrasive or mixed jobsite materials. It is a practical choice when bi-metal saws wear quickly in cement board or similar materials.
Installed in
Used with compatible hole saw arbors, including IDEAL arbors 35-393 and 35-394 as referenced in IDEAL TRI-Bore literature. Typically used with heavy-duty drills suited to large-diameter hole saw work.
Why this product exists
This product fills the need for a large multi-purpose hole saw that can handle more abrasive materials than a standard bi-metal saw. For trade buyers, that can mean fewer saw changes and more consistent cutting in cement board, ceiling tile and wood.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a bi-metal hole saw, a carbide-tipped model like this is typically better suited to abrasive materials. Compared with a dedicated metal-cutting hole saw, this model is positioned as a multi-purpose option for mixed-material jobsite work. Actual cutting speed and life depend on drill speed, pressure, material thickness and cooling practices.
