I really like this set. I wanted to install wiring for security system and this set did great easily cut through a variety of wood depths but I have not had the opportunity to use it on metal yet. It is a great set for my home projects. the Teeth are large and sharp and make clean holes with attached to my Milwaukee drill. The variety of hole sizes and their quality construction should make this a well used set for my home projects.

Very good hole saw set “if” you have a ½ inch drive drill or a Milwaukee M18 drill. The Milwaukee 8 pcs. Hole saw set comes with 4 carbide hole saws 7/8, 1 ½, 2 and 2 ½ inch and two arbors with pilot drills, two extra pilot drills and an Allen wrench to R&R the drills with. The case is nicely laid out and will accept 5 more hole saws if needed. These sizes could be 2 ¼, 1 ¾, 1-3/8, 1-1/8 and 1”. The larger of the hole saws only take the ½ inch arbor with the two “dogs” to help drive the saw. Most home owners/DIY’er have 3/8 drive drills and the ½” arbor will not fit them. It seems that if you have a Milwaukee M18 Fuel drill or any one else’s 18 volt drill the chuck is a ½” drive chuck. Anything smaller like a M12, Ryobi 14.7, Ridged or DeWalt corded, it’s a 3/8 chuck and you cannot use these drills with the larger hole saws. So, I had to use the 7/8” hole saw to do the test. I tested the 7/8” on some pressure treated wood and it cut through exceptionally quickly without me having to really work the saw or the saw leaving any burn marks on the wood. The saw teeth were pretty much in line and not bent outward or inward and the saw cut cleanly. The white thermoset coating helped to eliminate friction and drag allowing its use to be more efficient with cordless drills. There are 4 slots, two vertical and two horizontal to help you pry the slug out, but I find it easiest to remove the saw from the arbor and poke the slug out from the bottom. I did try the hole saw on a scrap piece of ½” cement board and it worked even better than with the wood. Concerns, you need a ½” drive drill with some “umph” like the M18 to really make these saws go as fast and cleanly as they do in the videos and nowhere on the box or the product overview does it tell you that. The Thermoset coating came off most of the carbide teeth and some spots around the jack holes. The performance of the hole saw is exceptional with a larger or higher amp corded or cordless drill and you can actually use all the sizes. The case is nicely laid out with room for additional hole saws when they get purchased. The Thermoset coating does help with friction and not burning the wood. Although I did not try this on any metal, I suspect the carbide teeth will work as well as it did on the pressure treated wood and cement board, “but” you need to cut at a slower speed. There is a sheet of paper with recommended speeds listed for hole size and material. All in all this is a great set, will last a long time and will cut a variety of materials as long as you have the right size drill, recommended.

I’ve been using this Hole Dozer hole saw set to cut holes in 1/8” and 1/4” clear plexiglass for some enclosures I’m making. The product description doesn’t mention thermoplastics as one of the materials that the saws will cut, so I was initially unsure how well it would cut plexiglass. I’ve used my drill press to cut the holes and found that for the larger saws a speed of 2500 rpm is good for cutting without heating and melting the plastic and leaving smooth edges, while a slightly higher speed around 3000 rpm is best for the smaller saws. I’m very pleased with their performance. One of the best engineered features of these hole saws is the ease at which they can be mounted and removed from the Quick-Change arbors. The clever design eliminates the need for wrenches or hex keys, and it takes only about 10 seconds to mount or remove a saw. The sturdy plastic case is an excellent organizational help for the saws. It’s compact, and it makes it easy to quickly locate the saws and arbors.Made in USA

MANY FEATURES; OFFSET TEETH — The Milwaukee Hole Dozer Carbide Hole Saw Set (13-Piece) is in many ways superior to my previous hole saws: 50X life vs. 2X; well-designed case vs. saws jumbled in my tool box. The quick change arbors are easy to use. The compact case is exceptionally well-designed to store the eight hole saws, two arbors, two spare drill bits and the hex wrench to adjust or change the drill bits. The inside top of the case is padded so that the teeth on the hole saws are not damaged. Having eight hole saws in one place makes it likely that you will have the size that you need. The four smaller hole saws have their sizes marked on the side and the bottom; the four larger ones have their sizes marked on the side. Six of the eight hole saws have offset (misaligned) teeth. Milwaukee says this was done intentionally to grip the surface and cut into it better. To me, this seems to impede rather than enhance the cut. All of my previous hole saws have their teeth aligned in a perfect circle. After several cuts, the teeth were still as sharp as when new. The plug is easily removed on material less than 1″. For material greater than 1″, it is better to use the two-sided method or stop half way through and remove the plug before continuing. It is made in the USA of global products. The teeth have a limited lifetime warranty against breaking. RPM instructions are included for drilling in metal.

This 8 pc. Milwaukee hole dozer set is perfect for the DIY or Professional. It’s an extremely durable tool and well designed. Basic hole saws cut soft materials and this hole dozer cuts hard materials such as stainless steel, cement board, fiberglass and more. It has 50x life in extreme multi cutting applications, the best tooth durability with carbide teeth, and longest life in stainless steel. The Thermoset coating reduces friction and drag, and the Plug Jack T-slots provide access to remove slugs. It arrived in a great storage case to keep saws and mandrels together. My first practice hole went well and I highly recommend this set.

This is a real nice set of hole saws that will come in handy for your handyman projects. The cutter sizes are good for most any job. There are two drill shafts of different size and the large one will be too big for some small light drills. I like that the cutters are made for deep cuts in thick materials. The carbide tips should last a long time. This is a better quality set of cutters than you will find at the discount tool stores.

These saws are beasts—getting through a stud up high where I’d expect to hit a nail from the top plate is not a problem with these carbide-tipped saws since they will go right through. I hear it and it slows down a bit, but it’s drilling through big nails! These drill fast and true, and the only hiccup I hit was going through water-logged plywood on a cabinet base. The material was soggy and sloppy, and the hole saw made it through, but it was messy with ply strands in the way of getting it back out. I got it out and just used my Sawzall to cut off the soggy stuff and get it out of there so there’s no risk of mold growing. Can they cut through stainless? Absolutely. I got through a restaurant stainless table fixture with ease; just kept the hole and saw oiled since I want a lot of life out of these saws. The warranty is awesome since it’s Milwaukee, but there’s no reason to work poorly and have down time waiting for bits to be replaced.The case is perfect. Every manufacturer should look to Milwaukee as the gold-standard for cases—they put foam in the lid to keep the hole saws in place and the tiny allen wrench right where it should be. Since this is the standard Milwaukee hole saw case, there is room for extra hole saws as my collection grows. Extra pilot bits are included, and both the small and the large arbors are included. Are these hole saws perfect? I would say they are. I have not tried them on heavy steel, as I don’t encounter big I-beams in my work, but everything else I’ve used them on has been fast and clean. These are a significant upgrade to my tool set.

Had to cut two 1” holes in 3/16” steel. Used cutting oil. The second hole went as easily as the first and I can tell it would’ve cut more holes no problem. Don’t know how many holes I could’ve done before failure, but I can say I doubt a bi-metal hole saw would’ve gotten through even one hole.

A very high quality hole saw set when compared to previous options in my shop. Everything about this set is much better than economy sets. The drill bits are very good quality and the hole cutters are heavy duty and lock in place for use. Sizes in my 13-piece set vary from 7/8″ to 2 1/2″. My only use so far has been in wood and this set quickly cuts a smooth hole/plug. Even the plug might be useful in some craft projects. The plug was easily removed especially after the drill bit is removed. I was initially concerned about a couple of the sizes since it appeared that the teeth did not line up where the metal was joined. But in use I had no problem and it did not appear to affect the quality of the cut. The fact that these can handle many different materials adds to their versatility. Overall a nice addition to my tool collection.

The Milwaukee hole dozer’s are great hole saws. With them being carbide tip it’s a no brainer to get theses over the old stand by has bimetal hole saws. The bits have no problem drilling the a nail or two in the process of drilling the holes. They hold their edge really good after drilling a bunch of holes. Even with drilling through some nail embedded wood the bits were still sharp and you wouldn’t even know you hit a nail by looking at the bit. The carbide hasn’t snapped off yet. Very impressed with the set so far

Milwaukee Dozer 8 Piece Carbide Teeth Hole Saw KitGotta Love Milwaukee! This kit is basic with only 4 Carbide teeth hole saw blades, (7/8”, 1-1/2”, 2” and 2-1/2”) two arbors and 4 drill bits but the included cool looking case has room to expand the kit. The included blades will get you a good start at a reasonable price. You can then purchase additional hole saw blades as needed, with room in the case for storage of those new blades. The case is a well made durable molded plastic case with a quality hinge, nice handle and smooth working sliding latch that keeps the case closed and prevents the blades from getting damaged. The carbide teeth on these hole saw blades are very sharp and they cut through the plywood I was using with ease. The sides of the round blades have openings that make removing the waste material easier. I used a flat blade screwdriver. Quick Change Arbors makes changing the blade on the arbor quick and easy. I really like this set and the bright red Milwaukee case makes it easy to find my hole saws when I need them. I would highly recommend this hole saw starter set to anyone who is looking to drill large holes.

This is a very complete, very high quality hole saw set. It comes with 2 arbors, one each for large and small hole saws. The saws are easy to install on the arbors and feel very secure. With the small saws, I found that I needed to use a wrench to remove the saw after making several cuts. I used these with an older (non-brushless) 18V makita compact drill and it had no problem spinning the largest (2 1/2″) saw through 2x material at high speed. The coating seems very durable, showing only minor wear after making 6 cuts in 2x material and 2 through a steel-clad exterior door. The blade stayed as sharp as new through this and cutting didn’t slow at all. The set comes with 2 replacement pilot bits, which will probably come in handy if you use in material other than wood. As a homeowner, I will probably never need another hole saw set. I have previously gone through a few 2 1/8″ saws drilling door knobs, and their quality didn’t even approach this.

This is a really tough built set. The individual saw blades are quite thick and won’t warp on you like cheaper models. The set comes with two arbors, one for the smaller blades and one with additional support for the thicker ones. It also has replacement drill bits. Mounting the blades on the arbors is easy and even without tools they hold together well. I have not had this set for long and only drilled a few holes with it so I don’t know how long the blades will hold but for now they are really sharp and drill clean holes.

This Milwaukee Hole Dozer Saw Set is great for drilling holes in both wood and metal surfaces. The hole saw’s teeth are carbide and carry a lifetime warranty. The kit includes 2 shanks that each hold one of the 4 pilot drill bits and one of the 8 hole drill bits. The hole saws range in size from 7/8″ to 2 1/2″. The hole saws screw on and lock onto the shanks. I have drilled holes in 2″ wood with ease. The hard plastic carry case secures the pieces inside and is a real bonus. This set is high quality and I recommend it.

This is a great small set of hole saws for the average user. The size contents; 7/8″, 1-1/2″, 2′, and 2-1/2′ will meet the majority of average product needs. Two arbors are included to hold the hole saws as well as two additional pilot bits and the hex key needed to install them. The hole saws have new access jacks or holes to assist you in removing the slugs that were cut out. The material that Milwaukee uses is typical high end Milwaukee: 50 times the the life of other saws by utilizing 4-TPI carbide teeth technology and a special coating to reduce friction during cutting. These saws will cut material that other hole saws will not. The case also has additional space for other size saws should you need something larger or smaller than what is included but for the average user, everything is included.
