Product Information
Full details
The Spyder Arbor (RCE) is designed for professional tradespeople and serious DIYers who need to efficiently cut and enlarge holes in various materials, particularly for tasks requiring core removal without prying. Its key benefit is the ability to cut at an angle and cleanly remove material cores, simplifying cleanup and further work. A potential consideration is its specialized design, which might not be suitable for all general drilling applications.

FAQs
What size holesaws is this arbor compatible with?
This arbor is designed to work with standard threaded-back holesaws. The pilot bit is Dia10mm, but the arbor itself is compatible with a range of holesaw diameters.
Does the arbor include the holesaw itself?
No, the arbor is the attachment mechanism. You will need to purchase a compatible holesaw separately.
Can this arbor be used with any drill?
It can be used with most standard power drills that have a chuck capable of securely gripping the arbor's shank.
What is the main advantage of the core removal system?
The core removal system is designed to eject the cut-out material plug cleanly without needing to pry it out manually, saving time and reducing effort.
Is the pilot bit replaceable?
The HEX8 HSS pilot bit is integrated into the arbor. If it becomes damaged or worn, the arbor may need replacement depending on the extent of the damage.
What materials can be cut with this arbor and a holesaw?
The cutting capability depends on the holesaw used. However, this arbor is suitable for use with holesaws designed for wood, plastics, metal, and other common construction materials.
Troubleshooting
Arbor not engaging securely with holesaw
Ensure the holesaw threads are clean and free of debris. Tighten the holesaw firmly onto the arbor. Check for damaged threads on both components.
Pilot bit is not centered or is wobbly
Verify that the pilot bit is securely seated and that the arbor shank is properly tightened in the drill chuck. Ensure the drill itself is functioning correctly.
Material core is not ejecting cleanly
Ensure the holesaw is sharp and not dull. For certain materials, a slight twist or wiggling of the arbor after the cut is complete may assist core ejection. Check for build-up in the holesaw slots.
Difficulty cutting at an angle
Start the cut with the pilot bit perpendicular to the surface if possible, then gradually introduce the angled cutting motion. Use a slower drill speed and apply steady pressure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently removes material cores without manual prying.
- Enables cutting at an angle for greater accessibility.
- Can enlarge existing holes accurately.
- Durable construction for long-term use.
- Precise starting with the HSS pilot bit.
Cons
- Pilot bit size is fixed, limiting options for starting holes.
- Specialized function may not be required for all drilling tasks.
- Requires appropriate holesaw attachment (not included).
- Core removal may be less effective in very soft or sticky materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the holesaw is securely threaded onto the arbor.
- Insert the arbor shank into your drill's chuck and tighten firmly.
- Position the pilot bit on your mark and begin drilling at a suitable speed for your material.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard holesaws that feature a threaded back.
- Requires a power drill with a chuck capable of holding the arbor shank.
Care:
- After use, clean any debris from the arbor and the pilot bit.
- Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
- Periodically check the threaded connection between the arbor and the holesaw for tightness and clean threads.
