Starrett 65631 Hole Saw 3 Inches Carbide Tipped

Product Description

The STARRETT 65631 is a carbide-tipped hole saw designed for cutting clean, accurate holes in a wide range of construction and finish materials. With a 3-inch saw diameter and a cutting depth of 1-5/8 inches, it handles typical wall, panel, and masonry-type applications without the need for pilot arbor attachment. The toothed cutting edge uses a constant pitch pattern, which delivers consistent chip removal and reduces material tear-out. This saw is suited for use with standard drill presses or heavy-duty handheld drills. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors rely on this type of tool for rough-in and finish work where hole size and edge quality both matter.

The STARRETT 65631 is rated for use in fiberglass, Formica, masonry brick, MDF, plaster, and suspended floor materials. It is a practical choice for trade professionals who need to cut through mixed substrates on commercial and residential job sites. The carbide-tipped construction holds an edge longer than standard bi-metal saws when working abrasive materials such as fiberglass, plaster, and masonry brick, reducing the frequency of tool changes during high-volume work.

Key Features

• 3-inch saw diameter for standard rough-in and panel cutouts
• 1-5/8-inch cutting depth accommodates typical wall and floor panel thickness
• Carbide-tipped construction extends edge life in abrasive materials
• Constant pitch toothed edge promotes consistent chip evacuation and cleaner cuts
• Non-arbored design — pairs with separately sourced arbor for drill use
• Suitable for fiberglass, Formica, masonry brick, MDF, plaster, and suspended floor

Compatibility

Designed for use in fiberglass, Formica, masonry brick, MDF, plaster, and suspended floor applications. This is a non-arbored hole saw; a compatible arbor must be sourced separately to fit standard drill chucks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, or general contractors during rough-in or fixture work. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting, and operate at a drill speed appropriate for the material being cut — harder and more abrasive materials generally require lower RPM. When cutting masonry or plaster, use appropriate respiratory protection to manage airborne dust. Inspect the carbide tips before each use and replace the saw if tips show chipping or significant wear.
