Used to cut holes for 6″ HVAC piping

I’ve used this hole saw on stucco and plywood. The grit makes it work smoother than a toothed hole saw so it doesn’t catch and tear up the work. When using it there is a lot of dust so the use of goggles, mask and a shop vac is a smart way to protect yourself. There are so many sizes of can lights nowadays it is good to keep as many sizes as you can so this is a great addition to any collection.

I would suggest you add a hole saw arbor with it as an opt.

Highly recommend

After growing tired of my toothed Hole Saw gouging my dry wall, I thought I would try this. The first time I used it I was unprepared for it’s gripping power on drywall and the drill nearly took my arm off. After adding a side handle to my drill it was much easier to work with and the hole was gone in seconds. Super smooth and the perfect fit for 6-inch canless recessed LED’s. Highly recommend.

This hole saw was used for a ceiling recessed lighting installation which was part of a master bedroom remodel. There were only four holes to punch out but each was a min. 1” thick of plaster and button board. The bit gave a sharp edge 5 3/8” hole with little effort, no wobble, and no clogging.

This is an amazing hole saw and will makes quick work of many materials except . . . it does not come with its own arbor, and becomes a nuisance for someone assuming it to be ready-to-use. Now, once you do attain one of these arbors, then you’ll be pleased with the performance of this hole saw. It does indeed cut very clean and relatively quick. It has a maximum depth of exactly 1 inch, so consider that before buying. Though a lot of steel is removed from this saw to account for excess weight, it is STILL quite heavy, and if using a weaker drill, it may put lots of extra strain and fry the motor. It would be nice if these were made of aluminum (or at least partially), but I assume that if someone is to buy one of these, they would already have something more powerful and able to handle such a load. The compatible arbors are 49-56-7240, 49-56-7250, 49-56-7040, 49-56-7055, 49-56-9100, 49-56-7140, or 49-56-7150. However, the last two I was not able to find online and are perhaps no longer made. Nonetheless, you still have 5 different arbors to choose from depending on chuck size, traditional or quick-lock, etc. I believe the pilot bits are all the same. I would advise you to choose the most versatile arbor that will work with as many hole saws as possible (so as to avoid this problem the second time around). They all seem to be directly interchangeable however, but I could be wrong.

I was really pleased with the saw better than the other brands that I had bought before the Milwaukee exceeded my expectations
Marcellus Marquardt (verified owner) –
Didn’t come with an arbor but I had one from an old lockset saw I had on hand. I’ve only made 4 test cuts so far but those cut fast and clean and make a perfect sized hole for my 6″ canless recessed lights. Only addition I’d like to see would be a plastic dust shield to keep my face clean.

This Hole Saw cut through drywall very easily. It’s well made and I think it will hold up to heavy use for quite a long time.
