Durable carbon steel arbor with hex shank and included pilot drill for secure attachment. Compatible with Starrett Fast Cut, Carbide Tipped and Diamond Cut hole saw ranges.


Secure, wobble-free drilling – With screw-threaded arbor and hex shank

Threaded pilot bit screws directly into the hole saw while the 6.35 mm hex shank locks into the drill chuck; a high-speed pilot drill centres the cut. The quick-change mandrel design helps maintain concentric alignment under load.

Accurate hole starts with reduced wobble result in cleaner cuts and fewer damaged workpieces. Faster job completion comes from confident, steady drilling.

Long-lasting performance – Thanks to heavy-duty carbon steel construction

High-quality steel body and a superior hardness design resist wear from repeated use and resist deformation under torque. Components are made for professional workloads rather than occasional light use.

Durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, making the arbor a dependable tool for regular users. Less maintenance and downtime on site or in the workshop.

Portable, versatile kit piece – With compact form and broad compatibility

Compact size allows the arbor and its pilot drill to fit into standard tool bags, while the range of compatible hole saws extends from 14 mm to 30 mm. Compatibility includes Starrett Fast Cut (FCH), Carbide Tipped (CT) and Diamond Cut ranges.

Easy to carry between jobs and suitable for many common hole saw tasks, reducing the number of specialised arbors required. Handy for mixed tradespeople and DIYers who work on varied materials.
