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

Hands down the best holesaw out there. I have been using this for a month now and have lost count on the number of holes I have drilled. It’s great for those holes through 2×6 wood plates and when you encounter a nail or screw, it’ll cut right through it. I have used other leading brands and have been disappointed with them while this one has not dulled yet and cuts awesome clean holes. For the price, you certainly get what you pay for.

I have been a builder remodeler for 49 years, and as such I have many opportunities to use a tool like this Milwaukee 5 IN. CARBIDE HOLE DOZER SAW. These carbide hole saws are of high quality, and they work very well for work requiring drilling work into more challenging materials that we drill into as we often do. Milwaukee tools are always of high quality as well, so these are a very good example of that.

The hole saw worked better than expected. I used it to cut holes in cement board siding.

Sometimes you have a need to cut holes through different materials to accomplish a task. I bought one of those portable a/c units, it comes with different options to vent it outside one is through the window and the other is through the wall. I have solar screens on my windows and the air flow was very restricted so I needed to vent through the wall this is where the Hole saw came to the rescue it made the job easy so I recommend this tool highly.

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

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.

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.

The Milwaukee dozer hole saws are fantastic. My wife got me the set of smaller diameters for Christmas a few years ago but I’ve been slowly adding the larger sizes over time. This 5 inch saw fits the “big” chuck that comes in the sets. I’ve been making some oval workbench cutouts and this size is perfect for the end radius. They are bimetal but to be honest I’ve only ever used them on wood so your mileage may vary if you hit a nail or something. I wish they were a little cheaper for what they are… but like the old saying, you get what you pay for and these are the best I’ve used.

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.

I have used Milwaukee hole saws for so many things its hard to keep track. I like this hole saw particularly because it is much closer to a 2″ hole than a 2″ hole saw. Hole saws are very crude ways of cutting a hole and are never the exact size you need. This being just under 2″ makes fitting for a perfect 2″ hole so much easier. These are a great option when needing to cut holes. I have many of this brand that have cut many holes, they just keep going.
