Freud DHS1500CT Carbide Tipped Hole Saw 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The FREUD DHS1500CT is a 1-1/2 inch carbide tipped hole saw designed for cutting through wood, nail-embedded wood, plastic, aluminum, metal, cast iron, and stainless steel in a single tool. The carbide tip construction delivers longer cutting life compared to standard bi-metal hole saws, making it well-suited for high-volume drilling tasks where downtime is a cost. The 2-3/8 inch cutting depth allows up to 40 percent deeper holes in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple setups. The variable tooth design promotes faster material removal across a range of substrates.

This hole saw is built for trade professionals working in residential and commercial construction, electrical rough-in, plumbing, HVAC installation, and general fabrication. It is appropriate for use wherever multi-material cutting is required without swapping tools. The Snap Lock Plus mandrel system enables quick bit changes without tools, supporting continuous workflow on job sites where both wood and metal penetrations are common in the same run.

Installation Notes

Installation of hole saws of this type is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors using a standard drill or drill press.

Power down any adjacent live circuits or pressurized lines before drilling through walls, floors, or ceilings in active systems.
