This is a great set of hole saws. What I use them for is a little different than what most people use them for, but I do a lot of wooden toy building with wooden wheels of different sizes. It was always a hassle to use my adjustable cutter to make different size wheels for a toy. These hole saw makes it super easy and accurate every time. Just a matter of exchanging blades to make different sizes. The wheels are easy to remove from the blades just by unscrewing the blade from the center drill and slide out. Gives me a nice clean cut with the axle hole dead center, only thing left to do is sand them a little and stain and ready to go on the toy.

Hole Dozer Carbide Hole Saw Set (13-Piece) by Milwaukee Tools. A Great Tool SetHole Saws are one of those tools that when you need it, you don’t have it, and when you have it, you don’t need it. That being said, when the Home Depot Seeds program offered this Milwaukee 13 piece Hole Dozer Carbide Hole Saw Set, I was all over it. I needed to get these to help construct my Chicken Coop and the timing was just right. I promptly ordered it. It was delivered well packaged and safely.This set comes enclosed in a nice, heavy duty, high composition case, with a locking mechanism that is safe and secure. A nice handle that folds down feels good in your hands. When you open the case you will find that the top is padded to protect the hole saws and keep them in place. There are 8 hole saws included.7/8″1″1 1/8″1 3/8″1 3/4″2″2 1/4″2 1/2″There are two (2) arbors and two (2) pilot bits.The hole saws have carbide teeth which offer the longest cutting life. There are plug jacks on the side to help remove materials. The arbors are a quick change to make use easier. The Thermoset Coating which is a Milwaukee exclusive helps the cutting speed up to 2x faster. The pilot bits are made thicker to make them 5x durable. These hole saws are designed to be used with wood, stainless steel, on shingles and on cement board. Everything about these hole saws gets the job done. Fit and finish is nice and the bits assemble easily and can be used in any drill.This tool is what you have come to expect from Milwaukee Tools. I highly recommend them.I rate this tool 5*s out of 5Thank you Milwaukee Tools for offering this item.Thank you Home Depot Seeds.

I’ve generally considered hole saws to be a somewhat disposable tool, having experienced so many in the past that became uselessly dull after only a few cuts. Especially when working with hardwoods or metals. These hole saws from Milwaukee may change my attitude. They’re carbide tipped, giving them a durability that the standard steel saws don’t have. Just to test them, I made multiple cuts in some scrap hard maple flooring I had lying around with no signs of dulling. The cuts were quick, clean, and generated minimal heat. The included guide drills and hardware are well designed and allow for easy changing to a different size hole saw. Overall, another fine product from Milwaukee – highly recommended!

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.

Good value for the money, and it’s a very nice feature to have more spaces in the case for additional sizes

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.

I already had some of the larger size hole dozer saws so the quality of these is no surprise to me. I knew they are top quality saws built heavy to hold up to the job. This is a nice selection of sizes with the sizes of mandrels as well as extra bits for each. I needed some to cut some holes in cement board and these are just the ticket for that job. The case is well made and built with padding positioned in a way to help keep things in place when the closes case is being moved about. That is a nice touch. What good is a case when you open it and everything is all over the place. Not happening here. You can’t go wrong with these Milwaukee saws if you need something that will stand up to the job. I’ve had good luck with these over time. It worked out great for me that the sizes on this meshed perfectly with the ones I already had. I know that is luck that I already had just the bigger ones but I’ll take it. But you don’t need luck to for these to last.

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.

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.

It didn’t come with the sizes listed on the front, so when i bought the in between sizes i ended up with doubles. Pretty disappointing.

The Milwaukee Hole Dozer with Carbide Teeth is a high quality set of hole saws. It definitely lives up to the brand name. This set includes 8 saws from 7/8” through 2 1/2” with two arbors, two extra pilot bits and an allen wrench. The smaller arbor will fit the 3 smaller diameter saws (7/8”, 1” and 1 1/8”) and will fit into a 3/8” drill. The larger arbor for the larger saws (1 3/8” through 2 1/2”) will require drill with a 1/2” chuck. The larger arbor has an easy to operate locking mechanism to secure the saw. The carbide teeth will allow cutting through much harder material without damage. The set comes in a heavy duty plastic box that stores each part in their place. The set is made in the USA.This set should give many years of service without any issues. One feature that I am very pleased with is what is called the Plug Jack T-slots. On many of the other brands of hole saws one of the hardest thing to do is extract the plug from the saw after cutting through. These slots enable the insertion of a screwdriver or similar device under the plug and easily pop them out. These also cut to a depth of 1.62” allowing a clean hole in 1 1/2” lumber.This has been a great addition to my tools by finally giving me a quality set of hole saws, and I would highly recommend them.

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

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 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.

The carbide kit is so much better than the normal bimetal kit it’s not even a contest. I have been abusing these things going through metal and drywall and they all look like they stil have brand new teeth. I also think milwaukee changed the coating on them cause they don’t leave colored residue on the sides of the finished holes anymore

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.

Great product. Needed a hole saw kit badly but didn’t want to break the bank. Signed up for Home Depot daily deals/emails and waited until this hit the daily deals. At 40% off it is a great purchase although I wouldn’t buy at full price
