Freud DHS2000CT Carbide Tipped Hole Saw 2 Inch

Product Description

The FREUD DHS2000CT is a 2-inch carbide tipped hole saw designed for cutting through wood, nail-embedded wood, plastic, aluminum, metal, cast iron, and stainless steel. The carbide tooth construction delivers longer cutting life compared to standard bi-metal hole saws, making it a practical choice for tradespeople who cut mixed materials daily. A variable tooth design speeds up the cut cycle, and the 2-3/8 inch cutting depth allows 40 percent deeper holes in a single pass. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers will find this saw well-suited for high-volume rough-in work where downtime between cuts adds up.

This hole saw is built for both residential and light commercial applications where material types vary from job to job. Typical use cases include running conduit, pipe, or ductwork penetrations through wood framing, steel studs, plastic panels, and cast iron. The Snap Lock Plus mandrel system allows tool-free saw changes, and the included mandrel fits all Diablo carbide and bi-metal hole saws from 5/8 inch to 6 inches in diameter. A tool-free plug ejection feature speeds up material removal between holes without reaching for extra tools.
