I used it on a cement block wall. It cut thru the block quickly and smoothly. Good tool to add to your tool box.

No other hole saw I have ever used makes the hole, as accurate and as smooth as I want it to be. In the picture you may note the layers/levels of the leaves. With this Carbide Grit Hole Saws smooth and accurate holes sealing and gluing is now a “Snap!” A real time-saver-money-maker.

Cut through bathroom tile like butter. Still looks good after two holes.

I picked up this $10 hole saw to install a removable pool fence in my travertine pavered patio. I drilled 10 1″ pavers with this hole saw, and it did them all without any trouble. It finally gave up and lost its carbide tips when I drilled the last paver which was on concrete. The stones in the concrete were probably too dense. But It did 10″ of travertine, so I can’t complain. I checked out the $40 ridgid hole saw, but went with the Milwaukee just to try, and glad I did. I did have to buy a $14 arbor. Then I figured that I could not go deeper than the length of the hole saw, because that arbor’s diameter was wider than the hole, so I picked up another arbor for $10 more, which came with another standard hole saw. Also picked up a $10 extension. Everything works well together, and looks like it’s made to last. Except don’t expect to go through too much solid concrete. It seems to work very well on travertine and probably ceramics too. I used a heavy duty drill and kept pouring water into the hole as I drilled, so I never let it get too hot. Definitely will buy from the same line of Milwaukee again if I need to drill into stone.

Worked fine once I made a trip to Lowes to get an arbor for it. Too bad the description didn’t mention needing to but other parts.

I had to drill through my brick siding to run some conduit and I was pretty impressed with this hole saw. Running it at a lower speed and water cooling it helped.

i bought one for a job that im currently doing to make 1 3/8 holes so far i made over 30 hole with the same holes saw and pilot bit , on cement block no water needed. i been an electrician for over 15 years , all it takes is a little knowledge of how to use the right tools. highly recommended.

Cut Through a 2″ water meter lid just fine. Took about 10 minutes. Works better with water. That was not mentioned on the package. That’s why only four stars.

Cuts very well through brick and mortar. Fast and efficient. I ordered online with in-store pickup, which was very convenient too.

USED TO CUT A 2 1/2″ HOLE IN BRICK, USING WATER FROM A PLASTIC BOTTLE W/ A PIN HOLE IN CAP TO LUB THE CUTTING EDGE. NICE CLEAN CUT.

Drill a 1 !/4 hole in 4″ of cement .Had to keep adding water. Took one hour + hole saw still good enough to do another hole if I need to

Needed holes in a concrete block for a pipe. I used a little water as I drilled, and this quickly made two nice, clean holes. Since I have only drilled the two, I can’t speak to how long it will last, but for the price it was worth it just for the two holes (I already had access to the arbor I needed). I didn’t want to beat out a hole or use a small bit to make a circle. I have seen this done, and either option makes for an ugly, rough hole. I was installing a 3/4 PVC LB conduit body, and this 1-1/4″ hole size made a perfect fit for the fitting part of the conduit body to slide in, with just a little caulk to seal it.

Easy to assemble and use. Performed admirably given the task it was used for. We were boring multiple holes in fire brick for use in a forge. This bit did a great job. We did not utilize the pilot bit and had a hole template made of wood for guiding the hole saw, making multiple holes in each brick. Given the number of holes and bricks we only destroyed 1 of the two bits purchased.

just what I needed to run conduit through the stucco wall. nice clean hole.

I used this with their 3/8 inch arbor (which you will need, this doesn’t come with one) to drill a hole through brick and cinder block for a high efficiency furnace exhaust. Worked perfectly. You’ll need a powerful drill but it does the job. Fits a 2” PVC perfectly. Used hydraulic cement to seal around it. Only used it once so your mileage may vary
