Hole saw BAHCO 3830-19-VIP, single 19 mm, for drill, for metal/plastic/stainless steel/steel/wood

BAHCO 3830-19-VIP is a single-piece 19 mm hole saw engineered for use with standard drills. Designed as a bi-metal cutting tool, it is suitable for creating precise round openings in a variety of materials including metal, stainless steel, steel, plastic and wood. Supplied as one unit in a protective box, this hole saw is intended for installation work, fittings, electrical and plumbing penetrations, and general workshop tasks requiring clean, repeatable holes.

Advantages

The single-piece construction provides rigidity and reduced vibration during cutting, improving hole quality and tool life. Bi-metal cutting edge combines wear resistance with flexibility to withstand cutting through harder metals and softer materials without frequent blade changes. The 19 mm diameter offers a compact, commonly used size for conduit, pipe and fastening installations. Supplied ready-to-fit, the hole saw is compatible with standard drill arbors and requires minimal setup.

Suitable for

• Creating round openings for conduit, cable and pipe entries
• Drilling holes for fittings and fasteners in metal and wood
• Electrical box and panel work in stainless steel and sheet metal
• General workshop and maintenance tasks on mixed materials

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 19 mm
• Material type: bi-metal construction for cutting edges
• Applicable materials: metal, stainless steel, steel, plastic, wood
• Design: single-piece hole saw for use with drill arbor
• Package: single unit supplied in a box

How to use

Fit the hole saw to a compatible drill arbor according to the drill and arbor manufacturers' instructions, making sure the arbor and chuck are securely tightened. Mark the centre of the intended hole on the workpiece and clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to establish the pilot position, then increase speed and apply steady, even pressure while allowing the cutter to remove material. Use cutting lubricant when drilling metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. After cutting, clean swarf from the teeth and inspect the hole for burrs; deburr edges if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material: slower speeds and cutting fluid for stainless steel and hard metals, higher speeds for softwoods and plastics. Avoid excessive side load on the hole saw to prevent premature wear or jamming; allow the tool to do the cutting. Store the hole saw dry and clean to prevent corrosion.
