Freud DHS1875CT Carbide Tipped Hole Saw 1-7/8 Inches

Product Description

The FREUD DHS1875CT is a 1-7/8 inch carbide tipped hole saw designed for demanding multi-material cutting applications. The carbide tip construction delivers longer cutting life compared to standard bi-metal hole saws, making it well suited for high-volume work where blade changes slow productivity. The 2-3/8 inch cutting depth allows 40 percent deeper holes in a single pass, reducing the need for repositioning or multiple cuts. A variable tooth design promotes faster, cleaner cuts across a range of materials. This tool is installed and operated by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who regularly cut through mixed-material assemblies.

The DHS1875CT is built to cut wood, nail-embedded wood, plastic, aluminum, metal, cast iron, and stainless steel. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications where a single saw must handle varied substrates in sequence. The Snap Lock Plus mandrel system allows tool-free mandrel changes, reducing downtime on the job. The included mandrel fits all Diablo carbide and bi-metal hole saws ranging from 5/8 inch to 6 inches in diameter, making it a versatile addition to a standard hole saw kit.

Installation Notes

This hole saw is installed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in work requiring precise, clean-diameter holes through structural and finish materials. Before use, confirm the mandrel and pilot bit are fully seated and locked per the Snap Lock Plus system. Allow the saw to reach full speed before contacting the work surface and apply consistent, moderate pressure to avoid binding. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when cutting metal or nail-embedded materials.
