RICHELIEU 962881 bi-metal hole saw 83 mm

This RICHELIEU 962881 bi-metal hole saw cuts an 83 mm diameter hole and comes with a screw-in mandrel and pilot drill. The M3 high-speed steel teeth are electron beam welded for strength and consistent hardness. A 4/6 variable tooth pitch handles metal, plastic and wood. The heavy-duty backing plate adds rigidity for cleaner cuts.

Tradespeople and DIYers making 83 mm holes

The included mandrel and pilot drill make it ready for corded or cordless drills without extra parts. Workers who need a different diameter or a dedicated arbor system should look at other sizes or mounting styles. The EZE Slot speeds plug removal on this diameter and above.

83 mm cutting diameter with 4/6 variable tooth pitch

The 4/6 variable tooth pitch is the specification that determines cutting efficiency across metal, plastic and wood. If the application demands a finer or coarser pitch for a specific material, this saw may not be the best match. The 83 mm diameter fixes the hole size this tool produces.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 83 mm bi-metal hole saw to the included mandrel and what step is often missed?

Screw the hole saw onto the mandrel threads until the backing plate seats fully, then tighten the pilot drill set screw so the bit cannot spin independently.

What part of the 962881 hole saw will need replacement first with regular use?

The M3 high-speed steel teeth dull before the backing plate or mandrel wear out, so plan to replace the hole saw itself when cutting slows noticeably.

What limits continuous cutting in metal with this 83 mm saw before I must pause?

Heat buildup in the electron-beam-welded teeth and the 4/6 variable tooth pitch reduces cutting efficiency, requiring cooling breaks to maintain performance.
