Ideal Industries 36-571 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ideal 36-571 hole saw arbor fit my drill chuck?
The arbor uses a 3/8 inch hex shank, so it seats in any 3/8 inch or larger chuck, and the hex flats keep it from spinning under the torque a hole saw generates. Seat the shank fully and tighten before running it. Impact-style hex holders take it as well, since the shank is hex rather than round.
2) Can I change hole saws on the Ideal 36-571 arbor without a wrench?
Yes. The arbor is a tool-free design, so hole saws thread on and come off by hand, and a flat head set screw in the arbor body handles pilot drill changes without pulling the assembly apart. That matters on a panel job where you're stepping through several hole sizes in a row.
3) Does the Ideal 36-571 arbor come with a pilot drill bit?
The arbor accepts a pilot drill retained by the flat head set screw in the arbor body, and that bit is a wear item you replace as it dulls. Plan on having the pilot drill and the hole saws themselves on the truck, since the arbor is the mounting hardware between the drill and the saw.
4) What is the correct Ideal part number for this hex shank hole saw arbor?
Order it as Ideal Industries 36-571. That is the single model, a bi-metal hole saw arbor with a 3/8 inch hex shank, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
5) Is this arbor suitable for cutting entries into electrical panels and junction boxes?
That's exactly what it's built for. Ideal lists it for panel and junction box installation, conduit and cable entry points, and retrofit work on residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. Steel construction handles the repetitive hole cutting that comes with rough-in and MRO work.
6) How do I drill cleanly with a hole saw arbor without binding the saw?
Start the pilot drill on your layout mark, run the drill at a speed matched to the material, and keep steady pressure rather than forcing the saw. Let the teeth clear the cut, back out to dump the slug and chips, and swap a dull pilot drill or saw out using the tool-free setup instead of pushing harder on worn teeth.
