Starrett 00440 Hole Saw 1-7/8 in 2 in Depth Hss

Product Description

The STARRETT 00440 is a high speed steel hole saw designed for cutting clean, precise holes in metal, steel, and wood. The saw measures 1-7/8 inches in diameter and delivers a cutting depth of 2 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of trade applications. Its toothed cutting edge and variable pitch pattern help reduce vibration and heat buildup during cuts. This hole saw is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors who need reliable, repeatable hole cutting performance in the field or on the bench.

The STARRETT 00440 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tradespeople need to cut through metal panels, steel enclosures, wood framing, or similar materials. Common install scenarios include cutting knockout holes in electrical panels, penetrations through wood structural members, and openings in HVAC equipment housings. The 2 inch cutting depth accommodates typical material thicknesses encountered in these trades.
