Hole saw Makita E-03969, single piece, Ø 86 mm, for drill — steel, aluminium, plastic, wood, stainless steel

Makita E-03969 is a single-piece 86 mm hole saw designed for drill use and intended to cut circular openings in a variety of materials. The tool is supplied as one blister-packed unit and fits standard drill arbors. Its geometry and construction make it suitable for workshop, installation and repair tasks that require clean, controlled holes in sheet and solid materials.

Advantages

The single-piece construction provides rigidity and reduced vibration during cutting, supporting straighter cuts and longer tool life. The 86 mm diameter covers common opening sizes for pipes, conduits and fixtures. Hardened cutting edges and toothed profile are engineered to work across steel, stainless steel, aluminium, plastic and wood, reducing the need to change tools mid-job. Compatibility with standard drill arbors ensures quick setup and straightforward replacement.

Suitable for

• Creating openings for pipes and conduits in metal and wood panels
• Installation of fixtures, ventilation grills and cable feeds
• Workshop and maintenance tasks requiring repeatable circular holes
• Cutting holes in aluminium panels, plastic sheets and thin steel

Key specifications

• Type: single-piece hole saw
• Diameter: 86 mm
• Compatible drive: standard drill arbor
• Suitable materials: steel, stainless steel, aluminium, plastic, wood
• Packaging: single unit in blister pack

How to use

Mount the hole saw securely on a compatible drill arbor and ensure the pilot bit or guide is fitted if provided by the arbor. Mark the cutting centre on the workpiece, clamp the material to prevent movement, and set the drill to the appropriate speed for the material being cut (lower speeds for steel and stainless steel, higher speeds for aluminium, plastic and wood). Begin cutting with steady, even pressure and let the tool do the work to avoid overheating. Withdraw occasionally to clear chips and, where applicable, use cutting fluid on metals to extend cutter life and improve finish.

Usage recommendations

For safe and accurate results, wear appropriate eye and hand protection, secure workpieces with clamps, and select drill speed and cutting lubricant based on the material. Avoid excessive side load on the hole saw to prevent premature wear or arbor damage.
