Starrett 00500 Hole Saw 2 in Hss Toothed Edge

Product Description

The STARRETT 00500 is a high speed steel hole saw designed for cutting clean, round openings in metal, steel, and wood. With a 2-inch saw diameter and a cutting depth of 1-5/8 inches, it handles a wide range of trade applications from conduit knockouts to pipe penetrations. The toothed cutting edge runs at a constant pitch of 5.5 teeth per inch, providing consistent chip clearance and controlled cutting action. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for this saw when precision hole sizing matters and material damage must be minimized.

This hole saw is suited for both residential and light commercial work. Typical applications include cutting holes in electrical enclosures, sheet metal panels, wood framing members, and steel studs. The 2-inch diameter is a common size for conduit and pipe rough-in work. It is intended for use with a compatible arbor and standard drill or hole saw driver setup. The high speed steel construction holds up to the heat generated during repeated cuts in metal substrates without rapid edge degradation.

Installation Notes

Installation of this hole saw requires a compatible arbor and a variable-speed drill or drill press. Disconnect power to any circuit before cutting into electrical enclosures or panels. When cutting metal, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat buildup and extend blade life. Follow applicable NEC or local code requirements when sizing conduit and wire management openings.
