Freud DHS09SGPCT 9-piece Carbide Hole Saw Set

Product Description

The FREUD DHS09SGPCT is a 9-piece general purpose carbide hole saw set designed for tradespeople who need one kit to handle wood, nail-embedded wood, plastic, aluminum, metal, cast iron, and stainless steel. The set ships with four carbide hole saws in 1 inch, 1-1/8 inches, 1-3/8 inches, and 1-1/2 inches diameters, plus a 2-inch hole saw, a Snap Lock Plus mandrel, a pilot bit, a 5/8-inch threaded adaptor, and a 1/2-inch threaded adaptor. Cutting depth is 60 mm (2-3/8 inches), which allows 40% deeper holes in a single pass. The variable tooth design reduces operator effort and delivers faster material removal compared to standard bi-metal designs.

This set is built for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors who drill through a wide range of substrate materials on the same job. The Snap Lock Plus mandrel accepts all Diablo hole saws from 5/8 inches to 6 inches in diameter, so the mandrel transfers from cup to cup without tools and without downtime. The 5/8-inch threaded adaptor fits diameters from 1-1/4 inches to 6 inches, and the 1/2-inch threaded adaptor fits diameters from 9/16 inches to 3-1/16 inches. Compatible with both drill press and handheld drill use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in work. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the mandrel is fully locked before applying power. When drilling metal or cast iron, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend blade life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear eye protection and follow applicable OSHA and NEC guidelines when working near energized systems.
