Freud DHS2625 Hole Saw 2-5/8 Inches Wood Metal

Product Description

The FREUD DHS2625 is a 2-5/8 inch diameter high-performance hole saw engineered for fast, clean through-cuts in wood and metal. The variable tooth design reduces vibration during cutting and allows for faster material removal compared to standard uniform-pitch hole saws. A tool-free plug ejection system clears cut plugs quickly, keeping the workflow moving. The Snap Lock system enables rapid arbor changes with no downtime between cuts. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and general contractors routinely reach for this size when boring through studs, plates, and light-gauge steel for conduit, pipe, and cable runs.

This hole saw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where frequent bore-through work is required in a single pass. The 2-5/8 inch diameter is a common size for conduit knockouts, pipe penetrations, and rough-in work through wood framing and metal panel material. The Snap Lock arbor system is compatible with all Diablo hole saws ranging from 5/8 inch to 6 inch diameter, so a single mandrel serves the full set. Note that the mandrel and pilot bit are sold separately.

Installation Notes

Install the mandrel and pilot bit per the mandrel manufacturer instructions before mounting the hole saw.

Follow applicable trade codes and jobsite safety requirements for penetration work through structural members or fire-rated assemblies.
