Klein Tools 31940 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Klein Tools bi-metal hole saw come with an arbor?
No arbor is included. The hole saw is designed to run on the Klein Tools arbor, Cat. No. 31906, which is sold separately. Order the arbor with the saw if you don't already have one on the shelf, or the cup won't mount to your drill.
2) Will this hole saw cut stainless steel, or do I need a carbide cutter?
The Klein bi-metal hole saw is optimized for cutting steel including stainless, and also handles drywall, ceiling tile steel, wood and plastic. For an electrician cutting stainless panels, enclosures or strut-mounted boxes, this is the right cup. Keep speed low and pressure steady on stainless to protect the teeth.
3) How do you get the slug out of a Klein bi-metal hole saw?
The cup has multiple slots in the side wall giving you different leverage points to pry the slug free with a screwdriver, rather than fighting one fixed opening. That matters on repetitive work like cutting a run of recessed can or speaker openings.
4) Can I use this hole saw on an energized panel or live circuit?
No. Klein's instructions are explicit: never use on or near live electrical circuits. De-energize and verify before cutting, wear approved eye protection, and follow the safety instructions in your power tool's manual.
5) Which Klein hole saw size do I need for a 2-1/2 inch opening?
Hole saws are sized by the diameter of the hole they cut, so Cat. No. 31940 cuts a 2-1/2 inch hole and Cat. No. 31944 cuts 2-3/4 inch. If you are clearing a conduit fitting or a round box, size to the fitting's required opening, not to the trade size of the pipe.
6) Does this hole saw get stuck on the arbor?
The base is hex-shaped so you can put a wrench on it and back the cup off the arbor after it has been torqued down in hard material. That's the usual complaint with round-base cups, and it is addressed here.
7) Is a bi-metal hole saw tough enough for daily commercial use, or will the cup deform?
Construction is heavy-duty steel with a thick back plate, which is the part that usually distorts when a cup binds in sheet steel and the drill kicks. For MRO and contractor use on mixed material, that back plate is the durability spec to look at.
