Starrett 65616 Hole Saw 1 in Carbide Tipped Fiberglass Masonry

Product Description

The STARRETT 65616 is a carbide-tipped hole saw designed for cutting through hard and abrasive materials that defeat standard bi-metal blades. With a 1-inch saw diameter and a 1-5/8-inch cutting depth, this saw delivers consistent, controlled cuts in demanding substrates. The toothed cutting edge runs at a constant pitch pattern, providing smooth entry and reduced chipping across a wide range of materials. It is used by trade professionals and experienced installers who need reliable hole cutting performance in renovation, construction, and mechanical installation work.

This hole saw is suited for applications involving fiberglass, Formica, masonry brick, MDF, plaster, and suspended floor materials. The 1-inch diameter makes it practical for smaller penetrations such as conduit knock-outs, drain fittings, or fastener access holes in composite and masonry surfaces. It is sold individually without an arbor, so a compatible arbor must be sourced separately before installation. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors working with non-wood substrates will find this saw appropriate for their work.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped construction for cutting abrasive materials including masonry brick and fiberglass
• 1-inch saw diameter suited for small penetrations in tight or finished spaces
• 1-5/8-inch cutting depth accommodates typical wall and floor thicknesses
• Constant pitch toothed edge reduces chipping and maintains cut quality
• Non-arbored design allows use with a separately selected compatible arbor
• Rated for fiberglass, Formica, masonry brick, MDF, plaster, and suspended floor materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in fiberglass, Formica, masonry brick, MDF, plaster, and suspended floor applications. This hole saw does not include an arbor and requires a separately sourced arbor compatible with standard hole saw shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotary cutting tools and appropriate PPE for the substrate being cut. Always secure the workpiece and verify the drill speed is appropriate for the material before beginning. Masonry and fiberglass applications generate fine particulate dust — respiratory protection and eye protection are required. Do not force the saw through the material; allow the carbide teeth to advance at a controlled rate to avoid tooth damage.
