I had the same trouble when I built a panel for my boat. If I recall, I ordered one from Acklands-Grainger.

I have a cheapo 2" hole saw that drills a hole that's really slightly larger than 2". I can usually drop a 2 1/16" gauge right in after using it.

DeWalt, Lenox, Milwaukee, Klein, Ridgid all have 2 1/16" hole saws. I have one I would have lent to you.

If I am not mistaken, Home Depot carries 2 1/16. Could be wrong, but I have one and think that is where I got it. I also have a 3 3/8 for the large gauges.

Thanks for the replys. My local tool supplier, which is just a small town hardware store and usually has anything I need. They said no such a thing as 2 1/16. But next time I get near home depot, 25 mile trip, I will check it out. It really didn't take too long to file the holes alittle bigger but I felt like a rant!!...

Most bi metal hole stagger tooth saws cut .030 to .060 over 2.00 the with of the teeth.

I just make a quick pass with the die grinder to make them fit, takes all of 30 seconds

Usually those 2" offset tooth hole saws with the quarter inch drill in the center waller around enough for clearance.

I gotta agree with Willowbilly....
I'd rather make it tight and fit it with a grinder than wallow it out too big with the 2 1/16 hole saw....as was said most of those make it slightly larger anyway....JMHO.....
