The MILWAUKEE HOLE DOZER with Carbide Teeth is the best hole saw solution for metal and multi-material applications. The hole saw provide 50X life in extreme metal and multi-material cutting compared to other bi-metal hole saws. A tough carbide-grade build is combined with a durable 4 TPI design, yielding the best carbide tooth durability and longest life in stainless steel, abrasive material and fastener-embedded wood applications. The HOLE DOZER has a cutting depth of 1.62 in., allowing clearance to handle cuts in a wide range of materials. Thermal coating on the saw reduces friction and drag during cutting. Cordless efficiency also allows for faster cutting in all applications. The hole sawslug is easy to remove with The Plug Jack, enhancing user productivity by providing the best access and leverage to remove material slugs.

Better then the old style.

Hole Saw 5 inchThis is a sturdy and sharp circular hole saw that cuts a 5 inch hole. Mandril not included, but screwed on perfectly to a mandrel I already have. Carbide teeth should make it last a long time. It is deep enough (cutting depth over 1.6 inches). It has adequate slots around the side to make plug removal easy enough. I’m pretty happy with this 5 inch hole saw.

I’ve used Milwaukee products for many years and all their tools are top-notch. The Hole Dozer hole saws are no exception…work great.

I use these hole saws all the time – I wish they didn’t cost so much. These saws are a mush for getting through the plate on a house and generally work very well. Carbide is ok I guess – I still haven’t had much luck with them if you hit into a nail or other metal object. They don’t seem to hold up as good as a carbide saw blade does. Still, a must have if your running pipes through the wall.

As expected, high quality, well made. A great addition to my Milwaukee set.

Doesn’t look like it but it goes right thru concrete. Works great !

Great hole saw! Cuts through wood like butter! Just make sure to get the center drill with the prongs, with a hole saw this big, it will spin right off of a typical threaded center bit without the prongs to keep it from spinning on the threads. It fit my smaller hole saw center bit, but it unthreaded as soon as I stopped. This wasn’t a problem once I got the correct center bit with the prongs!

Cuts like crazy. Better to run slow & hang on to start.

The best thing about this hole saw is that it can be used on multiple materials without a problem. So far it has performed really well on stainless steel sheets and wood. The cuts are clean and smooth, but I do recommend safety glasses as the dust, etc. does spray fast. We have used it for about a month on different projects and there is no wear on the teeth (really sharp). This should be the last one of these I have to buy!

I already have 5 other individual hole saw sizes and the 13 piece hole saw kit (251885) from Milwaukee, this is why I keep purchasing new individual ones as I need them. The quick change hole saw arbor, 233438, with pilot drill bit is a must, it makes hole saw bit changing so much easier and faster. I primary use them to drill through wood but sometimes I’ve hit nails, this is why I only use these Milwaukee saws. I highly recommend them.

SUMMARY: A great saw for installing lights.BACKGROUND: We are planning an upgrade to 5 in. recessed lighting in some of our home and I wanted a good hole cutting saw to go with my smaller Milwaukee Hole Dozer saw set. FIT AND FINISH: The same fit and finish as their smaller Hole Dozer saws this has a definite heft to it. FEATURES: From the Home Depot page, with my comments as appropriate. • Milwaukee carbide Teeth technology ◦ I love all my carbide Hole Dozer saws • 4 TPI carbide teeth design gives best durability and longest life in extreme applications ◦ This saw looks like it is meant to chew through things. • Thermoset coating reduces friction and drag, increasing overall speed and cordless efficiencies ◦ Same coating as my smaller saws; they work great. • Plug jack T-slots enhance user productivity by providing best access and leverage to remove material slugs ◦ One of my favorite features. My old hole saws had no way to get plugs out without a lot of prying and cussing. But the holes I cut in sheetrock made plugs that fell out without any effort on my part. • Made in USA ◦ Glad to support American manufacturing. • Cuts stainless steel, fastener embedded wood, cement board, fiberglass, plaster, asphalt shingles and more ◦ Didn’t need to cut any exotic materials, but it went through sheetrock like butter. I will be drilling in FRP but expect the carbide will eat through that just as easily. • For the toughest applications where bi-metal hole saws cannot cut • Includes: one 5 in. hole dozer with carbide teethOPERATION: I will say that you really should consider a 1/2” drill with an auxiliary handle when using this saw. A 5” blade throws a LOT of torque, and once the 4 TPI dig in it can put a lot of force into your drill. Even trying an easy feed is difficult in sheetrock. A couple of times the saw spun out of the track, fortunately it didn’t damage the face of the material. I did notice the pilot bit was only proud of the teeth bay about an inch. If I do more drilling with the saw I’ll extend the bit more or get a longer bit for a pilot. SUMMARY: A great addition to a hole saw collection. Will get the 4” and 6” bits for installing the other standard sizes of recessed lights.PROS: Tough, durable, cuts quicklyCONS: Grabs quickly, lots of torque feedback during operation.
