38 mm Bi-Metal Hole Saw

This RICHELIEU 960751 hole saw cuts clean 38 mm openings in metal, plastic and wood. The bi-metal construction uses M3 high-speed steel teeth electron beam welded to a heavy-duty backing plate for consistent hardness. It ships with a screw-in mandrel and pilot drill so the tool is ready for immediate use on a standard power drill.

Upgrade from single-material saws

A bi-metal blade replaces dedicated wood or metal saws when the job mixes materials or demands longer edge life. The 4/6 variable tooth pitch reduces snagging on thin sheet metal while still clearing chips in timber. The step up is worth it for trades who need one saw across multiple substrates without frequent blade changes.

Simple mandrel mounting

The included screw-in mandrel threads directly into the saw and locks the pilot drill in place with a setscrew, so installation takes seconds on any 13 mm chuck. The EZE slot feature applies only to diameters of 45 mm and larger, so this 38 mm saw relies on standard plug removal. Builders who need a larger diameter should select a different size.

Questions about this item

What size drill chuck is needed for the included mandrel?

The screw-in mandrel fits standard 1/2-inch drill chucks used with 38 mm hole saws.

How do I secure the pilot drill so it does not spin loose while cutting?

Tighten the pilot drill set screw firmly against the flat on the shank before starting the cut.

When should I replace the bi-metal blade instead of just the pilot drill?

Replace the blade when the M3 high-speed steel teeth show rounded tips or the variable 4/6 pitch no longer clears chips cleanly.
