Hougen 14232 Hole Saw 1 in Hss Toothed Edge

Product Description

The HOUGEN 14232 is a high speed steel hole saw designed for clean, accurate hole cutting in metal and similar materials. With a 1-inch saw diameter and a 1/8-inch cutting depth, this saw is suited for light-gauge stock removal where a consistent, toothed cutting edge is required. Constructed from M2 grade high speed steel, it delivers reliable wear resistance under the heat and friction generated during drilling operations. The 3/8-inch hex shank provides positive drive engagement with compatible drill chucks, reducing slippage during use. It is installed and used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals who require precise hole sizing in thin metal workpieces.

This hole saw is appropriate for use on aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and general steel stock. It is compatible with drill presses and power drills that accept a 3/8-inch hex shank. The constant pitch toothed cutting edge makes it well suited for sheet metal and thin flat stock applications common in trade installation work, including panel knockouts, pipe penetrations, and conduit entry points in light-gauge enclosures and covers.
