Hole Saw Set Irwin for Wood HCS 60, 67, 74 mm x 30 mm with Arbor and Pilot Drill

Set of HCS hole saws by Irwin for wood, including three cutter sizes: 60 mm, 67 mm and 74 mm, each with a 30 mm cutting depth. The set also contains a mounting arbor with shank and a pilot drill for accurate centring. The cutters are made of high carbon steel (HCS) and are designed specifically for cutting timber, plywood and other wood-based panels to create clean circular openings for installations and woodworking tasks.

Advantages

The Irwin hole saw set provides a compact selection of commonly used diameters for door hardware, cable entries and fitting holes. HCS construction offers good cutting performance in soft and medium-density wood materials while the included arbor and pilot drill ensure stable, centred starts and reduced wander. With 30 mm cutting depth, these cutters allow through- and partial-depth holes in typical boards and panels without the need to change equipment.

Suitable for

• Creating circular openings for cable glands and conduit in wooden panels
• Cutting holes for door hardware, locks and fittings in timber doors
• Making pass-throughs for pipes or ventilation in plywood and chipboard
• Carpentry and general woodworking tasks requiring neat round holes

Key specifications

• Cutter diameters: 60 mm, 67 mm, 74 mm
• Cutting depth: 30 mm
• Material: High carbon steel (HCS) for wood cutting
• Includes: mounting arbor (shank) and pilot drill for centring

How to use

Secure the correct cutter to the included arbor, tighten the connection according to the arbor design and fit the pilot drill in place. Mark the hole centre on the workpiece, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement and position the pilot drill on the mark. Start drilling at low speed to establish the centre, then increase speed while applying steady, even pressure. For thicker workpieces, drill from both sides if necessary to obtain a clean edge. Withdraw the cutter periodically to clear chips and avoid overheating.

Usage recommendations

Use with a drill capable of holding the arbor shank securely and operate at appropriate speeds for wood to extend tool life. Apply light cutting lubricant only if recommended for the specific wood type and clear chips frequently. Wear eye and hand protection when cutting and clamp workpieces to minimise movement.
