Starrett 00430 Hole Saw 1-1/2 in 2 in Depth Hss

Product Description

The STARRETT 00430 is a high speed steel hole saw designed for cutting through metal, steel, and wood. With a 1-1/2 inch saw diameter and a 2 inch cutting depth, it handles a wide range of through-cuts in structural and sheet materials. The toothed cutting edge runs a variable pitch pattern at 4 to 6 teeth per inch, which helps reduce harmonics and chatter during the cut. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers use this saw for conduit knockouts, pipe penetrations, and rough-in work across plumbing, electrical, and HVAC applications.

This hole saw is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where clean, repeatable holes are needed in metal, steel, or wood substrates. The 2 inch cutting depth accommodates framing lumber, metal studs, and light structural steel. Electricians use it for panel knockouts and junction box openings. Plumbers and HVAC techs reach for it when cutting pipe penetrations through framing or sheet metal enclosures. It ships as a single saw without a mandrel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible hole saw mandrel and a drill press or heavy-duty hand drill. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting and wear appropriate eye and hand protection. Apply cutting fluid when sawing ferrous metals to extend blade life and improve cut quality. Disconnect power tools from their power source before changing saw attachments.
