Diablo DHS3000CTR 3" TCT Rough-In Hole Saw

Diablo DHS3000CTR 3" TCT Rough-In Hole Saw

The Diablo DHS3000CTR is a 3" rough-in hole saw featuring tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) teeth, purpose-built to cut clean access holes through wood framing members during the rough-in phase of electrical and plumbing installations. Its TCT cutting edge is engineered to stay sharp when boring through lumber that may contain embedded nails or screws, helping electricians, plumbers, and contractors maintain cutting speed and reduce the number of blade changes needed on the job site. The 3" diameter delivers an access hole sized for routing conduit, cable, and pipe runs through studs and joists in both new construction and remodeling work. Rough-in hole saws like the DHS3000CTR are a staple on crews that need to move quickly from stud to stud without stopping to swap out a dulled or damaged cutting tool.
