Value Collection BD3175 Hole Saw Arbor Straight Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3175 is a straight-shank hole saw arbor designed to connect hole saws to standard drill chucks for clean, accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The arbor features a 7/16-inch hex shank cross-section and accepts a 1/2-inch chuck, providing a secure, non-slip grip during operation. An integrated pilot drill guides the hole saw to the center mark, reducing walk-off and improving cut accuracy. The body is constructed from carbon steel, delivering the rigidity required for repeated use in demanding trade environments. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians commonly use arbors of this type when cutting knock-outs or pass-through holes on the job site.

This arbor is suited for use with hole saws in residential and light commercial applications where a standard attachment method is required. It is compatible with hole saws at a minimum tool diameter of 9/16 inch and is a practical addition to any drill kit that requires frequent bit-to-saw changeovers. The standard attachment interface makes it interchangeable across a wide range of hole saw brands and sizes, streamlining tool setup on multi-trade job sites.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tradespeople including electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians as part of standard drilling operations. Before changing or mounting the arbor, ensure the drill is powered off and disconnected from its power source or battery pack. Insert the hex shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely before attaching the hole saw. Inspect the pilot drill tip for wear before use, as a damaged pilot tip reduces centering accuracy and can cause the hole saw to wander.
