Diablo DHS2563 Bi-metal Hole Saw 2-9/16 in

Product Description

The DIABLO DHS2563 is a bi-metal hole saw designed for trade professionals who need reliable, deep-cutting performance in wood, light metal, plastic, and other common building materials. At 2-9/16 inches in diameter with a 2-3/8 inch cutting depth, it cuts 40% deeper in a single pass compared to standard hole saws of comparable size. The variable tooth design reduces vibration during operation, improving cut quality and reducing fatigue during repetitive tasks. Compatible with the Snap-Lock Plus mandrel system, it supports fast, tool-free saw changes on the job. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians will find this a practical addition to their hole saw kit.

The DHS2563 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 2-9/16 inch diameter holes are required. Typical use cases include routing conduit, pipe, or cable through framing, drywall, and similar substrates. The 2-3/8 inch cutting depth allows the saw to clear most standard framing lumber or stacked materials in one pass, reducing repositioning and saving time on repetitive layouts. The Snap-Lock Plus compatibility spans all Diablo hole saw sizes from 5/8 inch to 6 inches in diameter, so a single mandrel setup handles the full range of common trade hole sizes.

Ensure the mandrel is fully seated and locked before beginning a cut. Disconnect power to the drill before changing saw attachments. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements when locating holes through structural or fire-rated assemblies.
