Hole saw BAHCO 3830-33-VIP — single 33 mm, for drill, metal/plastic/wood

BAHCO 3830-33-VIP is a single-piece 33 mm hole saw designed for use with hand and power drills. Engineered for cutting circular openings in a range of materials, this bi-metal style hole saw is suitable for metal, stainless steel, steel, plastic and wood. Supplied as one hole saw in a protective box, it is intended for tradespeople and maintenance technicians who need a compact, accurate tool for creating holes for pipes, conduits, fasteners and installation work.

Advantages

The single-piece construction provides stability and reduces wobble during cutting, supporting straight, clean edges. The bi-metal cutting edge combines wear resistance for metal with enough toughness for cutting through plastic and wood without rapid degradation. Designed for compatibility with standard drill arbors, the hole saw offers consistent performance across a variety of common jobsite materials and minimizes the need for multiple specialized saws.

Suitable for

• Cutting holes in thin and medium gauge metal sheets
• Creating openings in stainless steel fixtures and panels
• Drilling circular holes in plastic conduit and housings
• Making clean holes in wood boards and laminates
• Installing pipes, cable conduits and mounting hardware

Key specifications

• Diameter: 33 mm
• Design: single-piece hole saw (bi-metal cutting edge)
• Material compatibility: metal, stainless steel, steel, plastic, wood
• Sales format: single hole saw supplied in a box
• Intended use: for use with drills and appropriate arbors

How to use

Secure the hole saw to a compatible drill arbor and tighten according to the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the center point of the desired opening and, if needed, drill a pilot hole to guide the saw. Start drilling at low speed to seat the saw, then increase speed and apply steady, even pressure. For metal cutting, use cutting lubricant and moderate feed to extend tool life. Clear chips regularly and avoid excessive heat buildup by pausing as necessary. After cutting, deburr the hole edges as required.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves) and select drill speed and feed rate based on the workpiece material. For metal and stainless steel, apply suitable cutting fluid and maintain moderate speed. For plastic and wood, use lower speeds to avoid melting or burning. Inspect the cutting edge before use and replace if worn or damaged.
