Dewalt DAH9383PBM Hole Saw Arbor 6 in Hex Shank No Pilot

Product Description

The DEWALT DAH9383PBM is a steel hole saw arbor designed to connect hole saws to a drill or drill press in trade and jobsite applications. It accepts hole saws up to 6 inches in diameter and features a 3/8 inch hex shank with six flats for secure chuck engagement. The arbor uses a standard attachment method with a 5/8-18 thread for compatibility with standard hole saw bodies. Overall length is 5 inches. This arbor does not include an integral pilot bit, making it appropriate for setups where a separate pilot or pilot-free workflow is required. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors are the primary installers.

This arbor is suited for residential and light commercial drilling applications where hole saws are used to cut through wood, drywall, and similar materials. It fits drills with a minimum chuck size of 12.70 mm and a maximum chuck size of 1/2 inch. The no-pilot configuration is common in situations where the center mark has already been established or where pilot breakage is a concern on repetitive cuts. The 5/8-18 threaded connection is a widely used standard across hole saw bodies in this diameter range.
