Greenlee 3-5/8" Bi-Metal Variable Pitch Hole Saw with 1-5/8" Cutting Depth

Greenlee 3-5/8" Bi-Metal Variable Pitch Hole Saw with 1-5/8" Cutting Depth

Professional Multi-Material Cutting Performance

The Greenlee 3-5/8" Bi-Metal Variable Pitch Hole Saw delivers reliable cutting performance across steel, tin, aluminum, fiberglass, wood, and plastic materials. Built with extra-tough bi-metal construction from highest grade tool steel and featuring a deep 1-5/8" cutting depth, this professional hole saw handles demanding applications including 2x4 stud cutting with superior precision and durability.

Professional Features & Benefits

• 3-5/8" Cutting Diameter: Provides precise hole sizing for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installations requiring exact dimensional accuracy.
• Bi-Metal Construction: Extra-tough blade made from highest grade tool steel ensures extended service life and consistent cutting performance across multiple materials.
• 1-5/8" Cutting Depth: Deep cut capability allows complete penetration through standard 2x4 wood studs in single pass operation.
• Variable Pitch Design: Optimized tooth configuration reduces vibration and provides smoother cutting action for improved operator control.
• Steam Oxide Finish: Advanced coating reduces heat buildup during operation, extending blade life and maintaining cutting efficiency.
• Extra-Thick Backplate: Minimizes vibration and deflection for straighter cuts and reduced operator fatigue during extended use.
• 7/16" Arbor Compatibility: Standard shank size ensures compatibility with most professional drill systems and arbor assemblies.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Operation

1. Mount the hole saw securely on compatible 7/16" arbor assembly with appropriate pilot bit for material type.
2. Mark the cutting location and ensure adequate clearance behind the workpiece for complete penetration.
3. Start drilling at moderate speed with light pressure, allowing the variable pitch teeth to establish the cut.
4. Maintain steady feed rate and allow the bi-metal construction to cut efficiently through the material.
5. Clear chips periodically during deep cuts to prevent binding and maintain cutting performance.
6. Complete the cut and remove the hole saw carefully, checking for proper hole dimension and finish quality.

Professional Applications

• Electrical installations requiring precise conduit and cable entry points
• Plumbing rough-in work for pipe penetrations through framing
