Bosch Hole Saw HMD212 2-1/8 Inch Diameter Core Cup (Carbide Turbo-Teeth Integrated Arbor Pilot Bit Deep Cut Wood Framing Drilling Tool Unit)

Bosch HMD212 Daredevil 2-1/8" Carbide-Tipped Wood Hole Saw

The Bosch HMD212 Daredevil 2-1/8-inch carbide-tipped hole saw bores clean, high-speed holes through 2x dimensional lumber, plywood decking, and engineered wood substrates. Engineered with proprietary Turbo-Teeth technology that delivers up to 5X faster drilling speeds than standard hole cutters, this 2-inch cutting depth core cup features a 2 TPI dual-tooth geometry for rapid material clearance. Outfitted with an all-in-one integrated arbor and pre-installed pilot drill bit on a 1/4-inch hex shank, it equips electricians, plumbers, and residential framing contractors with reliable, clog-free boring performance across hand-held drills and drill presses.

Best Used For:

• Door Lockset and Latch Bore Installation: Drilling standardized 2-1/8-inch cross-bore holes into solid wood entry doors and interior doors without splintering face veneers.
• Electrical Conduit and Pipe Pass-Throughs: Boring wide utility channels through 2x4 and 2x6 framing studs, joists, and structural subflooring in single passes.
• Plumbing Drainage and Vent Rough-Ins: Penetrating thick plywood decking, oriented strand board (OSB), and rough timber quickly without tool binding.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Turbo-Teeth Carbide Geometry: Dual-tooth carbide-tipped cutting profile slices wood fibers rapidly, yielding up to 5X faster cutting speeds.
• 2-Inch Deep Cup Capacity: Deep-body cup architecture drills completely through standard 2x framing lumber in a single continuous stroke.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When drilling completely through structural 2x framing studs or solid wood entry doors, ease off drill feed pressure just as the pilot bit exits the opposite side and finish the hole from the back face; this completely prevents wood blowout and leaves a splinter-free edge.
