Meet the Diablo DHS2625CT 2-5/8" Carbide Teeth Hole Saw for Wood and Metal—the groundbreaking tool that extends beyond traditional boundaries by cutting both wood and metal with a single carbide-tipped design. Built for professionals and serious DIYers, it brings together precision, durability, and versatility in one dependable bit.

Why this carbide hole saw stands out

• Unmatched material reach: Designed to cut wood, nail-embedded wood, plastic, aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, and other metals, giving you one hole saw that tackles multiple projects without swapping bits.
• Durability that lasts: Carbide teeth deliver up to 50x longer cutting life than traditional bi-metal hole saws, translating to fewer bit changes, less downtime, and more productive work sessions.
• Faster, cleaner progress: The carbide edge stays sharp longer and maintains aggressive cutting action, helping you punch through tough materials with fewer passes.
• Clear project versatility: The 2-5/8" diameter is ideal for electrical openings, plumbing through-woles, conduit passes, HVAC work, and cabinetry tasks where both wood and metal access are needed.

What you can accomplish with the DHS2625CT

• Drill clean, accurate holes in studs for wiring whenever nail-embedded wood is present.
• Create openings in metal components or thin metal sheets without switching to a separate metal-cutting bit.
• Work through mixed-material projects where wood parts meet metal hardware, reducing tool changes and setup time.

Who benefits most

• Professional electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers who encounter both wood framing and metal provisions on the job site.
• Carpenters and fabricators who demand a single bit for wood and metal tasks to streamline workflows.
• DIY enthusiasts tackling home improvement projects that involve mixed materials and fast, reliable hole cutting.

Practical considerations and tips

Use a steady, controlled drilling technique and maintain appropriate feed pressure to maximize the life of the carbide teeth. For best results, drill at a consistent rate and avoid forcing the bit through very thick metal in a single pass. As with any carbide-tipped tool, ensure your drill’s speed and torque are appropriate for the material you’re cutting to preserve edge life and achieve precise openings.

With the Diablo DHS2625CT, you’re choosing a hole saw that combines exceptional durability, broad material compatibility, and strategic design to help you finish more tasks with fewer tool swaps. It’s a practical, performance-focused solution for any project that crosses between wood and metal.
