agrivation or just confusion

Why are most aftermarket gauges 2 1/16 inches in diameter but nobody makes a hole saw 2 1/16" ..can find 2 or 2 1/8...so I gotta get out the ol half round file and exercise my arms...[S

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

Got a Home Depot?

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!!...

25 miles one way? Shop the internet:

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

It's a conspiracy I tell ya'!

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.....
