Hole saw BAHCO 3830-64-VIP, single, diameter 64 mm, for drill, metal/plastic/wood

BAHCO 3830-64-VIP is a single 64 mm diameter hole saw designed for use with a drill. Built in Sandflex® bi-metal construction, it is suitable for cutting holes in metals including stainless steel and structural steel, as well as in plastics and wood. Supplied as one piece in a box, this hole saw is intended for creating circular openings for pipework, fittings, electrical conduit and general installation tasks where a durable, metal-capable cutter is required.

Advantages

The Sandflex® bi-metal blade offers increased toughness and wear resistance compared with conventional carbon steel saws, making it suitable for intermittent cutting in metal and long runs in softer materials. The 64 mm diameter provides a standard opening size for many plumbing and electrical applications. The tooth geometry supports fast cutting and chip evacuation, while the hardened cutting edge maintains performance during repeated use. The single-piece supply simplifies inventory and ensures the tool is ready for immediate use with a compatible arbor.

Suitable for

• Making circular openings for pipes and conduits in metal, plastic and wood
• Cutting holes for fittings, junction boxes and ventilation fixtures
• On-site installation and maintenance work in construction and mechanical trades
• Fabrication tasks where a robust metal-capable hole saw is required

How to use

Install the hole saw on a compatible arbor and secure it to the drill according to the arbor manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the centre of the hole on the workpiece and, where appropriate, start with a pilot drill or guide bit to ensure accurate positioning. Use steady feed pressure and maintain the drill at a right angle to the work surface. For metal cutting, operate at the recommended drill speed for the material and apply cutting lubricant as needed to reduce heat and prolong tool life. After cutting, deburr the hole as required.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting metal, use appropriate cutting fluids, moderate drill speeds and allow the tool to cool between cuts. Always use proper personal protective equipment and secure the workpiece before drilling.
