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.

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

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!

Odd size no one carries in the store. Works like it is supposed to. Too bad we couldn’t get it sooner, but it was delivered straight to my house.

Did the job. I had a bit of trouble setting the torque correctly.

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.

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!

Dozer is putting it mildly. Milwaukee Hole Dozers do amazing things to all materials short of concrete. hard working and long life make them unbeatable.

It is working very well. I think I will in time be replacing all the hole dozers I have that are not with the carbide. They seem to make a smoother cut.

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 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 5 inch carbide hole dozer saw arrived very quickly and secured in its own blister pak, inside a carton with bubble wrap. All intact. I selected it because of the mfg’ers reputation for top quality products and tools. I like the ease of securing it to the drill bit. The specific feature is the toughness of the saw and teeth. I use it on different materials and it cuts thru easily. Make sure you have the optional handle attached to your drill in case the saw snags so that you don’t wrench your wrist. The quality is superb! Easy to use. It’s working out and cutting holes as planned and expected. I like it and would order another.

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