Starrett 152mm Hole Saw

Key specs include a 152 mm cutting diameter, construction from high-quality steel, a sharp cutting edge, a built-in depth stop for consistent hole depth, and a non-slip grip for better control. It’s designed to be easy to use, maintain, and clean, with compatibility for use on a variety of materials when paired with the correct arbor and pilot bit.

It’s suitable for cutting wood, metal, and plastic, as well as other common workshop materials. Performance will vary with material hardness, so choose appropriate drilling speed and lubrication for metal and use steady, controlled feed to prevent tooth binding.

Attach the hole saw to a compatible arbor and secure it with the pilot bit if required. Mark the workpiece center, clamp it firmly, and start at a low drilling speed. Apply steady pressure, let the saw cut at its own pace, and monitor the depth stop to achieve the desired depth.

Wear eye protection and gloves, secure the workpiece to prevent movement, and keep hands away from the cutting edge. Use the correct speed for the material, avoid forcing the tool, and allow for cooling to prevent overheating of the teeth.

Wipe away debris and moisture, dry thoroughly, and inspect the teeth for any damage. Clean any resin or material buildup, store in a dry place, and apply light lubrication if cutting metal to extend life.

The 152mm hole saw is the larger option for bigger holes. For smaller hole sizes, consider Starrett 102mm or 76mm hole saws. If you’re looking for a multi-size option, you might explore a Starrett 152mm hole saw set.

Ideal for electrical and plumbing penetrations (large conduit or knockout holes), cabinetry and ductwork openings, and any project requiring a precise 152 mm hole. It’s suitable for cutting through common shop materials like plywood, PVC, mild steel, and aluminum when used with the correct arbor and feed technique.

Avoid using on extremely hard or abrasive materials that could dull the teeth quickly, and avoid sudden impacts or binding that can cause tooth breakage. For best results, match the speed and lubricant to the material, especially when cutting metal or plastics with potential heat build-up.

Value comes from build quality, durability, and the ability to cut large holes in a single operation. The built-in depth stop, non-slip grip, and ease of maintenance contribute to longer tool life and more consistent results on long projects.

Identify the final hole diameter you need, your material, and the thickness to be cut. For large holes, the 152 mm size is appropriate, otherwise consider smaller Starrett options. You can review related sizes here: 102 mm and 76 mm hole saws, and the 152 mm hole saw set pages.
