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.

These carbide tipped hole saws work well on wood AND metal which is a plus compared to standard hole saws that are designed to cut softer materials like wood, drywall and plastic. I was drilling a hole for a surveillance camera mount with a flat blade spade drill when I hit a nail. I switched to this Milwaukee hole saw and completed the cut with little effort. Because of the nail, I destroyed the cutting edge on the spade drill but did no damage to the hole saw blade. I’m glad I got this set and will be adding additional saw sizes. The case makes it easy and convenient to keep all saws and mandrels in one location.

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.
