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!

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

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.

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

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

Great quality monster hole saw. Drilled smooth through some plywood for some exhaust vents for a roof job. It looks huge on a my drill. The carbide teeth definitely just chew through wood like a hot knife through butter. Of course I had to be careful because the larger a drill bit is, the more risky it is in a bind up. It did not bind up on me at all but still used it with caution. I really like Milwaukee’s pilot bit which I got separate because it has to knobs that secure into the large bit along with the threaded insert. I didn’t have any problem removing the wood from the bit after the cut out which I really liked. I only used it on wood but this hole saw is a beast. Definitely use a decently powered drill. It’s still really sharp and ready for more and even the paint itself held up which is pretty funny. Definitely recommend this line up Milwaukee hole saws because that carbide definitely makes a difference.

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.

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.

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.

Milwaukee makes excellent hole saws. If you need a 5″ hole saw for whatever application, this is what you need. Carbide teeth last a lot longer than bimetal teeth in most materials, especially when encountering metal, and is perfect to use in any wood or plastic application. Masonry, continuous use in metal, and similar materials you might want to consider a different saw. Fits standard hole saw arbors. Five stars for build quality and made in the USA.
