Lenox 2011344CHC Hole Saw 2-3/4 in Carbide Tipped Sheet Metal

Product Description

The LENOX 2011344CHC is a carbide-tipped hole saw designed for cutting through sheet metal with precision and durability. With a 2-3/4 inch saw diameter and a 1/2 inch cutting depth, this hole saw delivers clean, toothed-edge cuts in thin gauge sheet metal applications. The carbide tipping extends tool life compared to standard bi-metal saws, making it a practical choice for HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who regularly cut knockouts and penetrations in metal panels, enclosures, and ductwork. At 0.42 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle in confined spaces.

This hole saw is suited for trade professionals working on residential and light commercial projects where sheet metal cutting is routine. Typical applications include cutting conduit knockouts in electrical panels, creating duct penetrations in HVAC sheet metal work, and boring holes in metal enclosures or junction boxes. The toothed cutting edge provides consistent bite on flat sheet metal surfaces, and the compact cutting depth keeps the tool manageable when clearance is limited.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or plumber typically installs this hole saw as part of a drill or drill press setup using a compatible arbor. Always power down and de-energize any panel or enclosure before cutting into it. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the cut to prevent the saw from walking on the metal surface. Eye protection and gloves are standard PPE when cutting sheet metal.
