Hole saw BAHCO 3830-62-VIP, single, Ø62 mm, for drill, metal/plastic/wood/stainless steel

BAHCO 3830-62-VIP single hole saw, Ø62 mm, is a Bi-Metal cutting tool designed for use with a drill to create precise circular openings in a variety of materials. The tool is suitable for cutting through metal, stainless steel, plastic and wood, and is supplied as one unit in a box. Its construction and tooth design support efficient cutting in both thin sheet materials and softer building materials, making it appropriate for installations in construction, plumbing, electrical and HVAC work.

Advantages

The hole saw features a Bi‑Metal construction that combines flexibility and wear resistance for longer life under intermittent and continuous drilling. Its tooth geometry is optimised for fast cutting and efficient chip evacuation across mixed materials, reducing the need for multiple tool changes. The single-piece supply simplifies inventory and handling, while compatibility with standard arbors allows straightforward mounting on most drills.

Suitable for

• Installing pipes and conduit through metal and wooden panels
• Making openings for electrical boxes and fixtures
• HVAC duct and vent cutouts in building materials
• General repair and maintenance tasks involving plastic, wood or thin stainless steel

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 62 mm
• Material system: Bi‑Metal design for durability and flexibility
• Suitable materials: mild steel, stainless steel, plastics and wood
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard drills and arbors
• Supply: single unit in a protective box

How to use

Fit the hole saw to a compatible arbor and secure it in the drill chuck according to the drill and arbor manufacturers' instructions. Mark the centre of the required hole and, if possible, use a pilot bit or centre punch to prevent walking. Start drilling at low speed to engage the teeth and then increase speed while applying steady, even pressure. For metal or stainless steel, use cutting lubricant and pause periodically to clear chips and avoid overheating. For plastic and wood, moderate speed and consistent feed will produce clean cuts. After cutting, remove burrs as needed and inspect the hole for fit.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp workpieces securely, and follow recommended speeds and lubrication for each material. Replace the hole saw if cutting performance drops significantly or if visible wear appears on the teeth to maintain safe and accurate results.
