Ideal Industries 36-801 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size hole does the Ideal 36-801 DEADEYE hole cutter make?
The Ideal 36-801 cuts a 7/8-inch (0.875 inch) diameter hole. That is the common size electricians bore for 1/2-inch conduit fittings and cable connectors, so it keeps openings consistent on rough-in work.
2) I need to cut an opening for a single gang box, not a round hole. Is this the right cutter?
No. The 36-801 bores a round 7/8-inch hole only. For a single gang device box opening, use a rectangular cutter such as the Rack-A-Tiers 42700 Q-Bit single gang hole cutter, which cuts a 2-3/8 by 3-3/4 inch opening.
3) Can a Rack-A-Tiers 42700 Q-Bit cutter be used in place of the Ideal 36-801 hole cutter?
No, they cut different openings. The Ideal Industries 36-801 is a carbide tipped DEADEYE hole cutter that bores a round 7/8-inch diameter hole, typical of conduit and wiring access work. The Rack-A-Tiers 42700 is a single gang Q-Bit hole cutter sized 2-3/8-inch by 3-3/4-inch, which is a rectangular single gang box opening rather than a round bore. If you need a device box cutout, the 42700 matches that shape; for a 7/8-inch round penetration, the 36-801 is the one that fits.
4) Is the 36-801 hole cutter carbide tipped or bi-metal?
Carbide tipped. The 36-801 uses a carbide cutting edge rather than a bi-metal tooth, which is what lets it hold an edge through tougher material on repeat cuts. Carbide is the stated material for the cutter.
5) What is the Ideal Industries part number for the 7/8-inch DEADEYE cutter?
Order it as Ideal Industries 36-801. It is the 7/8-inch size in the DEADEYE hole cutter line, and the number is the manufacturer part number distributors and counter staff will look up.
6) What jobs is the DEADEYE 7/8-inch hole cutter meant for?
Electrical rough-in and boxing, and boring access holes for conduit and wiring on commercial and residential installs. It is a kit tool for electricians and general contractors who need the same 7/8-inch opening every time rather than a one-off cut.
7) How does the cutting edge material of the Ideal 36-801 compare to other hole cutters?
The Ideal Industries 36-801 uses a carbide tipped cutting edge, which is the construction Ideal specifies for the DEADEYE line for sustained cutting in tough materials. Among comparable cutters, the Rack-A-Tiers 42700 Q-Bit is identified by its single gang 2-3/8-inch by 3-3/4-inch cut size rather than by an edge material, so the two are chosen on opening shape and size rather than on a head-to-head edge comparison.
