It cleanly cut two holes in 3/16 steel bumper so I could flush mount some LED lights.

This is a beast of a hole saw. You need something strong when cutting a hole that big and this hole saw fits the bill. Make sure you have a powerful, relatively slow turning drill. The hole saw fits both of my mandrels perfectly and locks in tightly. The carbide tips are sharp and cut quickly through metal or wood. Obviously drywall is not problem The slots on the side make removal of the slug or coupon easier. This was a great addition to my shop.

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!

The four and a half inch hole Dozer says it all. This hole saw cuts through would like a hot knife through butter, and does the same thing going through metal. The wholesale will last a long time if used properly and kept lubricated while cutting in metal. When using a hole saw like this it is recommended to wear safety glasses and have proper safety equipment and training before using it.

Cut through stucco line butter. Perfect for cutting in new electric boxes.

When your drilling a hole this big you want a hole bit that isnt going to bind up and I want one that is deep enough to cut a 2x without a problem. I am happy with the sharpness and the ease of cutting without it heating up and burning the wood. The chunk of wood is relatively easy to remove also. Be careful not to cut your hand loading it into your driver because this sucker is sharp. I like it a lot. Thanks!

Using this to build a large Connect Four for our youth at church. Fairly clean holes in mdf.

I’ve used various sizes of these Milwaukee hole saws. They’ve lasted many years and perform beautifully. This particular part does not include the arbor, which is required. One arbor will fit many size hole saws, and I already have an arbor that fits this saw. After attaching the arbor to the hole saw, insert the assembly into your drill. It cuts a clean and smooth hole in wood every time.

works excellent on fiberglass pools cutting holes for return jets.

Carbide teeth hole saw is worth buying, this will lasts 100 times longer then conventional bi-metal saw. I would definitely recommend to buy it, especially if you need to use it on the cement board, stacco surfaces. I had compared Milwaukee Carbide saw with Lenox and found the Milwaukee is a win win

I used the hole saw to cut a faucet hole in a stainless steel sink. It cut clean and fast.

Worked great for cutting light box in plaster ceiling.

I used the saw with an arbor that I already had to cut a shower drain hole through 1/4″ Hardieboard plus 3/4″ plywood sub-floor. The carbide saw went through both layers relatively easy when compared to a bi-metal saw that just skimmed the surface. The Oatey drain fit perfectly in the 4-1/2″ hole. Home Depot had the best price and shipping was free and quick.

I needed to put a faucet hole in a new countertop, but we did not want to have the factory do it because we wanted to have the vessel sink and faucet sitting on the vanity top in our bathroom to decide on where the faucet would be. I used the drilll bit on the chuck to mark the spot for the faucet and we took the top off and cut the hole from the underside. It worked beautifully!

The Milwaukee 5-inch Carbide Hole Dozer Saw is an excellent hole saw, very durable, and long lasting. I have used various sizes of these hole saws by Milwaukee for years. They cut through wood, nails, stainless steel, shingles, and cement board. Unlike the “standard” hole saw that seems like a one-time-use, this hole saw will last for many uses. This product is only the saw blade and doesn’t include the 3/8 inch quick-change arbor. This arbor is included in kits or can be purchased separately. All of the Milwaukee Hole Saws, 1-1/4 inch and above, use the same arbor so you can just purchase the size saw you need for the job. The arbor screws into the back of the hole saw and then the sleeve slides into two holes in the back to keep the arbor from tightening into the saw and allows the arbor to be easily removed. The saw cuts a hole up to 1-3/4 inches deep. I recommend using a heavy-duty drill motor so that the torque doesn’t damage the motor, especially when using large saw sizes such as this. The pilot drill bit, that is part of the arbor, is slightly longer than the hole saw so that once the bit cuts through the material on the other side, you can remove the saw and continue drilling from the back side to eliminate tear-out.

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.

Took awhile but eventually cut a hole through my masonry wall. Comparing with a different hole saw I have, the teeth on this one are too smooth. I think they should be more jagged to catch and grind against the masonry.
