Ideal Industries 36-803 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What diameters does the Ideal DEADEYE carbide-tipped hole cutter come in?
Two diameters: 1-1/8 inch (model 36-803) and 1-3/8 inch (model 36-805). Those cover the trade size span of 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inches, which is the range most electricians need for standard box and conduit knockouts.
2) Which DEADEYE cutter size do I need for 3/4 inch EMT conduit knockouts?
A 3/4 inch trade size conduit knockout is nominally 1-1/8 inches, so the 36-803 DEADEYE cutter at 1-1/8 inch diameter is the one that matches. Step up to the 1-3/8 inch 36-805 for a 1 inch trade size knockout.
3) What should I use instead of the DEADEYE hole cutter when I need to cut a single-gang device box opening?
The Ideal Industries DEADEYE carbide-tipped hole cutters are round cutters offered in 1-1/8 inch and 1-3/8 inch diameters, sized for standard electrical box and conduit knockout holes. For a rectangular single-gang device opening, the Rack-A-Tiers 42700 Q-Bit hole cutter cuts a 2-3/8 inch by 3-3/4 inch single gang shape instead of a round hole. Choose the DEADEYE for round knockouts and conduit entries, and the 42700 when the opening has to accept a single gang box or device ring.
4) Are the DEADEYE hole cutters carbide or just hardened steel?
Carbide-tipped steel. The body is steel with carbide cutting teeth, which is what lets them hold an edge through tougher materials and repeated cuts rather than dulling the way a plain steel cutter does.
5) Do I get both sizes in a set, or are DEADEYE cutters sold individually?
They are ordered individually by diameter. Each diameter is its own part number, 36-803 for 1-1/8 inch and 36-805 for 1-3/8 inch, so pick the size you need or order both if you want the pair for a kit.
6) What kind of work are the Ideal DEADEYE cutters meant for?
Electrical install work: box and panel knockouts, conduit and raceway entry holes, and both new construction and renovation wiring. They are built for repeated jobsite use by contractors rather than occasional cutting.
