Freud DHS2625CT Carbide Tipped Hole Saw 2-5/8 Inches

Product Description

The FREUD DHS2625CT is a 2-5/8 inch carbide tipped hole saw designed for cutting through wood, nail-embedded wood, plastic, aluminum, metal, cast iron, and stainless steel. Carbide tipping delivers longer cutting life compared to standard bi-metal hole saws, supporting faster cutting performance and higher productivity on demanding jobsite applications. The saw provides a 2-3/8 inch cutting depth, enabling 40 percent deeper holes in a single pass. A variable tooth design further accelerates cut speed across a range of materials. Licensed trades and skilled tradespeople working in construction, renovation, and mechanical installation will find this saw suited to multi-material applications where a single tool must handle diverse substrate types.

The DHS2625CT is built for residential and light commercial jobsite use where hole saws must handle mixed materials in a single workday. It is well suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors cutting through framing lumber, metal studs, cast iron pipe flanges, stainless enclosures, and similar substrates. The Snap Lock Plus mandrel system allows tool-free bit changes with no downtime between cuts. The included mandrel is compatible with all Diablo hole saws in the carbide and bi-metal range from 5/8 inch to 6 inch diameter, making it a versatile addition to a mixed-brand hole saw collection.
