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.

Good price. Good quality.

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.

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

I haven’t used the drill yet to make a hole in a security screen door screen material. I’m sure it will work just dandy. Thanks

7/8″ carbide hole saw cut through my stucco wall with exact size for 3/4″ diameter pipe and looks like professional work. Used lite streem of water to cool when cutting to extend bitt life. Just don’t understand why this item isn’t stocked in my local Home Depot stores. Seems most common sizes would be 5/8″ 7/8″ and 1 1/4″.

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

The saw bit worked well. Went through the brick wall easily. Happy with the purchase.

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.

I used this tool to cut through wood and concrete, it worked great.
Jaylin Altenwerth (verified owner) –
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.

Cut through bathroom tile like butter. Still looks good after two holes.
Fred Halvorson (verified owner) –
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.

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

Great quality product.

Intended for light duty, shallow holes. Good price, quality fabrication for intended use. Centering bit included. Needs standard hole saw bit mount.
Sunny Watsica (verified owner) –
Its a great bit and a good price but I would just like to say the center taping bit is not carbide dipped and thats frustrating for me personally.My job went well with the product I would reccommend it to others.COOL with water while cutting!

It cut through 3″ of pool concrete deck easily.
Eloisa Friesen (verified owner) –
I used this to cut through 3 inches on concrete for some conduit. I used water to try and keep it cool. I had to dig out the concrete from the saw so I could get through the concrete.

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.
