Freud DHS1000 Hole Saw 1 Inch Wood Metal

Product Description

The FREUD DHS1000 is a 1-inch diameter hole saw engineered for high-performance cutting in wood and metal. It delivers a maximum cutting depth of 2-3/8 inches, allowing trades to bore through thicker stock in a single pass without repositioning. The variable tooth design reduces vibration during the cut and improves material removal speed. A tool-free plug ejection system clears cut slugs quickly, keeping workflow moving on the job site. This saw is compatible with the Snap Lock mandrel system used across the Diablo line. The mandrel and pilot bit are sold separately.

The DHS1000 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors need a reliable hole saw for conduit knockouts, pipe penetrations, and rough-in work. Its 1-inch cutting diameter fits common small-bore applications through wood framing, sheet metal, and similar materials. The Snap Lock interface allows quick changeover between hole saw sizes with no downtime, which makes it a practical choice for service techs carrying multiple sizes on a single mandrel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors using a standard drill or drill press.

Always power down the drill before changing hole saw sizes or ejecting slugs. Follow applicable codes and employer safety guidelines when drilling near live utilities or structural members.
