Reply:Check with a commercial plumbing supply co. or industrial tool supply co. I think that Lenox makes a deep cut.
Reply:most of the major manufacturs  of hole saws only make em up to 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" depth of cut. Some carbide tipped saws are available at 2", but they are very expensive- 88 bucks for a 1/2" diameter x 2" deep.Get a MSC catalog- they stock about 10 different kinds.MSCdirect.comgood  place for drill bits, bandsaw blades, taps and dies, and so on. They deliver ups in 2 days just about anywhere in the country. And the catalog makes good ballast in your trunk when it snows.

Reply:Milwaukee used to make some that were deeper than 1-1/2 and I looked for them when I read your post. I used them for awhile in the plumbing business. I don't think they were Bi-metal though. I haven't seen them on the web. I think I bought them from Seven corners Ace hardware store, but it has been awhile ago. If you can find any you need to check out if they are fine or coarse toothed. I hate the ones made by Lennox,they'll break your arm in a drill motor. Morse makes some, I like the Milwaukee ones the best. I  think those deep ones were just like 2" deep anyway. They worked well cutting thru some 2x material but the plug was a little harder to remove. Sorry ,no help> DavidDavid

Reply:Dull check those teeth out on the ones Paychk posted the Blu-Mold and the Dewalt are gonna suck even if you were drilling wood because of the coarse teeth. I was using a Makita on some metal the other day and hit a snag and sheered half the teetn off it. I don't think I would use them anymore either.Those Agressor might work. DavidDavid

Reply:Dang....were'd I put those bi-focals
Reply:Yup, I know that feeling.    I have no doubt Ken can do that but I would hate to try it myself;  its gonna take some pretty square cutting and sticking to get it right.
Reply:I've lengthened Tilden type concrete bits by cutting and reassembling them in a lathe,  BUT, I don't think I'd want to do it with a holesaw, especially one that was going to be used in a tubing notcher.Hole saws were never designed to be used in those notchers to begin with, they are built to have all the teeth engaged as they cut.  If only part of the teeth are engaged you will definitely set up some vibration conditions, and will probably distore the saw as well.   Add to that that some of the saws, especially carbides, have teeth that are brazed on, and you're looking for problems.Appreciation Gains You Recognition-
Reply:Forget the hole saw. You should be able to find a milling machine cutter that will do the job.
