Value Collection BD3174 Hole Saw Arbor 6 in Quick-change

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3174 is a quick-change hole saw arbor designed to accept hole saws up to 6 inches in diameter. It features a 7/16-inch hex straight shank that fits 1/2-inch chuck drills, and an integral carbon steel pilot drill for centered, accurate cuts. The arbor body is also carbon steel construction. This type of arbor is used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors when boring large-diameter holes through wood, drywall, and similar materials. The quick-change attachment method allows for fast blade swaps without additional tools.

This arbor is suited for residential and light commercial applications where repeated hole saw changes are required on the job. Typical install scenarios include running conduit, pipe, or ductwork penetrations through framing and panels. The 1/2-inch chuck compatibility makes it compatible with standard corded and cordless drills commonly used in the trades. Minimum saw diameter compatibility starts at 1-1/4 inches, giving this arbor a wide working range from small pilot holes up to 6-inch diameter cuts.
