Hole Saw · 6-3/8 in (162 mm) · Carbide-Tipped Multi-Purpose Tri-Bore · IDEAL 36-364
What this product is for
This 6-3/8 in (162 mm) carbide-tipped hole saw is designed for electricians and contractors cutting large-diameter openings in abrasive and mixed materials. It is part of the IDEAL Tri-Bore series and is commonly selected for fixture cut-ins and similar large circular openings.
Use for
Use for cutting wood with nails, cement board, composite enclosures, ceiling tile and other abrasive materials. It is also listed by IDEAL for Capri and Halo fixture applications.
Avoid for
Avoid using this hole saw as a general-purpose metal hole saw for thick steel or stainless applications. It is not the right choice where a bi-metal or dedicated metal-cutting solution is required.
Best for
Best for electricians needing a large, repeatable cut size with carbide cutting edges for abrasive materials. A practical buying note: larger hole saws like this are typically used with a heavy-duty drill and controlled feed pressure to reduce grabbing and improve cut quality.
Installed in
Typically used on site during rough-in, retrofit and fixture modification work in residential, commercial and light industrial settings.
Why this product exists
This model gives the trade a fixed 6-3/8 in (162 mm) cut size in a carbide-tipped design for materials that wear out standard tooth hole saws more quickly. The deep-cup Tri-Bore design also supports plug removal and uses a longer pilot arrangement specific to the Tri-Bore system.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard bi-metal hole saws, this Tri-Bore model is better suited to abrasive materials and wood with embedded nails. Compared with smaller hole saws, this size is intended for larger openings and typically requires more drill torque and steadier control. Actual cutting performance depends on material, drill power, feed pressure and installation conditions.
