Greenlee 825-7/8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Greenlee 825-7/8 hole saw cut all the way through a 2x4 stud in one pass?
Yes. The 825-7/8 bi-metal hole saw has a 1-5/8 inch cutting depth, which clears the 1-1/2 inch actual thickness of a nominal 2x4, so you can bore a stud in a single pass without flipping the member. On anything thicker, you will need to cut from both sides.
2) What arbor do I need for the Greenlee 825-7/8 hole saw, and is one included?
The saw cup itself is what you are buying; it mounts on an arbor with a 1/4, 5/16 or 7/16 inch shank. Order the arbor and pilot drill separately if you don't already have one that matches your chuck.
3) Can this Greenlee hole saw cut sheet steel and aluminum, or is it only for wood?
Bi-metal, so it handles steel, tin, aluminum, fiberglass, wood and plastic. The tooth edge is high grade tool steel welded to a flexible body, which is what lets one cup go from a wood stud to a metal stud or an enclosure wall. Run metal at low speed and keep the teeth cutting rather than rubbing.
4) What part number do I order for the Greenlee 7/8 inch bi-metal hole saw?
Greenlee manufacturer part number 825-7/8. The number after the dash is the cut diameter, so the 825 series runs across sizes and the 7/8 suffix is the one that gives a 7/8 inch hole.
5) Why does the 825-7/8 have a thick backplate and a steam oxide finish?
Two durability features. The extra-thick backplate stiffens the cup so it chatters less when the teeth first bite, which matters on thin sheet metal where a vibrating saw walks. The steam oxide finish runs cooler, slowing the heat buildup that dulls teeth on long or repeated cuts.
6) Is the Greenlee 825-7/8 hole saw made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That matters if you're buying against a Buy American or domestic-preference requirement on a public or institutional job.
