Hole Saws Matched to Our EMT Wall Sleeves
Our EMT sleeve hole saws are selected specifically for use with our
pre-cut EMT wall sleeves. The correct hole saw creates the opening needed to install the sleeve through drywall, wood, and other common building materials while providing the clearance required for a clean installation.
Hole saw sizes are available to match our commonly used EMT sleeve sizes, including
1", 2", 3", and 4" sleeves. Matching the hole saw to the sleeve makes it easier to select the right cutting tool for your project and eliminates unnecessary guesswork during installation.
Complete Your EMT Sleeve Installation Setup
In addition to hole saws, we offer
Lenox arbors, pilot bits, adapters, and extensions to help you configure your drill and hole saw for the installation. These accessories are useful for both individual installations and larger structured cabling projects where multiple wall sleeves need to be installed.
For Data Cable and Communications Installations
Our EMT wall sleeve system is designed for contractors installing
network cable, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, fiber optic cable, and other low-voltage communications wiring. Pre-cut sleeves eliminate the need to cut and prepare EMT in the field, helping simplify installation and provide a consistent finished penetration.
Using the matching hole saw with our pre-cut EMT sleeves provides a convenient two-part installation solution:
cut the opening with the properly sized hole saw, then install the pre-cut EMT sleeve. Where required, the sleeve can then be incorporated into an appropriate firestop system.

EMT Hole Saw Size Guide
Choosing the right hole saw for an EMT sleeve installation starts with understanding the actual outside diameter of the EMT. EMT trade sizes are nominal sizes and do not represent the actual outside diameter of the conduit. Use the chart below as a quick reference when selecting a hole saw for an EMT sleeve installation.
