Greenlee seems to go up to 4-1/2".
Irwin, DeWalt, and Morse have bimetal 5.5" hole saws, though.


I have Greenlee up to 5"

And I'll Gaa-Ron-DAMN-tee you didn't buy that 5" new for any job of
less than 100 holes, or you got someone else to buy it. ;-)

Them puppies (742BB) List at $700... Ouch. That's well past 'arts
and crafts and hobbies' status.

I got the pump and 19 die sets from 1/2" conduit upwards with many
spares. For $50

Think I did ok?


Pretty good, yes. :-)

Out of curiosity -- could you measure the punch diameter in the
5" size -- to see what it really is in terms of hole diameter?

But to be fair..I did have to put oil in the pump, and buy a tool box to
hold the common stuff we all normally use. And a second box to hold the
spares. So I might have $65 in the works.


:-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
