MPN: 75700

Overview:

The Tolsen 75700 is a 3/8" hex shank arbor that attaches hole saws from 14mm to 30mm to your drill. It includes an M2 HSS pilot drill (1/4" x 75mm) with a 135° split point for accurate, fast starts. The hex shank grips securely in standard drill chucks, decreasing slippage during cutting.

The 135° split point stops the pilot bit from wandering before the hole saw teeth engage. This produces clean, centred holes in wood, plastic, and thin metals without pre-marking or pre-punching.

Key Features and Benefits

• 3/8" (9.5mm) Hex Shank: Fits standard 3/8" and 1/2" jaw-type drill chucks for broad usability.
• M2 HSS Pilot Drill: The 1/4" x 75mm M2 grade pilot drill provides stable, accurate starts on each cut.
• 135° Split Point Tip: Reduces bit wander and allows the pilot drill to penetrate quickly without pre-punching.
• 14mm to 30mm Hole Saw Compatibility: Covers a practical range of smaller hole saw sizes for common trade and home tasks.
• Hex Shank Design: The hex profile resists rotation in the chuck, preserving a stable connection under load.
• Reduced Wobble: A secure mandrel-to-saw connection minimises vibration, giving cleaner hole edges.
• Multi-Material Use: Suits penetrating through wood, plastic, and thin metal sheet.
• Lightweight at 82g: Adds minimal weight to your setup without affecting balance or control.
• Straightforward Attachment: Designed for quick, tool-free fitting with compatible non-arbored hole saws.
• Centred Cutting: The pilot drill acts as a guide, keeping the saw on target throughout the cut.

How to Use

• Select Your Hole Saw: Choose a compatible hole saw between 14mm and 30mm to suit your task.

• Attach the Hole Saw: Screw the hole saw onto the mandrel collar thread until it sits firmly.

• Insert the Shank: Place the 3/8" hex shank into your drill chuck and tighten it securely.

• Mark Your Centre Point: Mark the centre of your intended hole on the material before starting.

• Begin Drilling: Position the pilot drill on the mark and start at a steady, controlled speed.

• Complete the Cut: Apply consistent pressure until the hole saw cuts fully through the material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the difference between a hole saw mandrel and an arbor?
  The terms refer to the same component and are interchangeable. Both describe the intermediate piece connecting a hole saw to a drill chuck. This one features a hex shank and a built-in HSS pilot drill.

• What drill chuck size does a 3/8" arbor shank fit?
  A 3/8" hex shank fits into both 3/8" and 1/2" jaw-type drill chucks. It will not fit a 1/4" chuck.

• Why does a hole saw need a pilot drill?
  The pilot drill penetrates the material first, creating a fixed central point. This stops the hole saw from drifting and keeps the cut centred as the teeth work through the material.

• What materials can a 14-30mm hole saw cut with this arbor?
  The setup suits wood, plastic, and thin metal sheets. When cutting metal, apply cutting oil to the pilot drill to reduce heat and extend bit life.

• Can I use this mandrel with hole saws from other brands?
  It works with any non-arbored hole saw sized 14mm to 30mm, provided the collar thread matches. Always check your hole saw's thread specification before use.

Summary

The Tolsen 75700 arbor presents a straightforward way to mount 14mm to 30mm hole saws onto any standard 3/8" chuck drill. The M2 HSS pilot drill with its 135° split point starts cleanly and keeps cuts on target in wood, plastic, and thin metal. Weighing just 82g, it adds minimal bulk to your present setup.
