Hole saw Makita E-03632, single 16 mm, for drill, suitable for aluminium, plastic, stainless steel, steel, wood

Makita E-03632 is a single 16 mm hole saw designed for use with standard drills. The cutting tool creates clean, round holes with a 16 mm diameter and is supplied as a single unit in blister packaging. It is intended for a range of installation, plumbing, electrical and general workshop tasks where precise small-diameter holes are required in materials such as aluminium, plastic, stainless steel, steel and wood.

Advantages

The hole saw offers a compact cutting diameter for accurate, repeatable holes and is made to work with common drill chucks. Its cutting edge and body are configured to provide effective material removal across metals, plastics and wood without needing multiple tool types. Supplied as a single piece, it is easy to store and replace and compatible with standard drill speeds and feeds for small-diameter hole cutting.

Suitable for

• Creating 16 mm passage or mounting holes for piping and tubing
• Drilling cable, conduit and electrical box entry points
• Making holes in metal and non-metal panels for fittings and fasteners
• Workshop sample cuts and jigs where precise small holes are required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 16 mm
• Intended use: drilling with a hand or bench drill
• Suitable materials: aluminium, plastic, stainless steel, steel, wood
• Packaging: single unit in blister pack

How to use

Secure the hole saw in the drill chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions and ensure spindle and arbor fit are correct. Mark the centre point of the desired hole and, if needed, use a pilot drill to prevent walking on smooth surfaces. Operate the drill at a suitable speed for the material being cut—slower speeds for steel and stainless steel, moderate speeds for aluminium and plastics, and higher speeds for wood—while applying steady, even pressure. Periodically withdraw the hole saw to clear chips and reduce heat build-up. After cutting, deburr the hole edges as required for the application.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hand protection, clamp the workpiece securely, and use cutting lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve cutting quality.
