This weekend I used this hole saw, the hole dozer to cut soffit vent holes in a pole barn that was built with the soffit perforated materiel in place but 2×6 materiel blocling any chance of air flow. I cut 2 holes in each bay for 80 feet on both sides of the barn. The hole dozer cut through the blocking like butter, through knot and nails with ease. This hole saw was going strong when many would have quit, the only damage to it was a little heat discoloration in the paint and a little paint flaking. This will be my go to brand of hole saw in the future!

I have a whole set of the Milwaukee Hole Dozer saws already but wanted to increase the range to be able to drill bigger holes. I have cut plastic, thin, and thick wood with them in the past and always had near perfect results, even when using very large diameters like 4″ (which I borrowed from a friend back then). The hole saws are sturdy and well centered. The teeth are sharp and with all of my saws have continued to be sharp. This is a very good product overall.Just be aware that you will need to buy an arbor with this. The product is the hole saw only. With this diameter you will need the arbor for larger diameters.

These are excellent hole saws. A regular hole saw that goes into sheet rock or plasterboard or cinderblock or stone is instantly worthless for steel after that. These are able to be used on those materials and still be sharp for steel. I personally used one of these to cut 4 holes into plaster (sand, gravel, and lime) and sandstone in a 140 year old building and it was still as sharp in the 4th hole as the first. They are well designed for removing plugs. If you are new to using hole saws on steel, always drill the pilot hole with just the pilot bit in the arbor, then put on the hole saw and start your drill and ease the hole saw into the material. If you drill your hole through the sheet metal with the hole saw on the arbor, you will loose teeth on the hole saw and bend or break your pilot bit!

As an electrical contractor, boring fairly large holes is a common thing for me. I use the 3-tooth TCT hole saws nowadays for much of it, but there’s materials and instances where those are just too aggressive, requiring a hole saw with a good many more teeth. I loathe the slowness of a traditional bi-metal hole saw, and also require the durability of carbide-tipped teeth in many instances.I had hoped these new Milwaukee carbide Hole Dozers were going to be the answer for those instances. First hole there, pictured, was close to as fast as – if not as fast as – with a 3-tooth TCT. Now, I wouldn’t purposely go out of my way to run any of my hole saws though nail-embedded materials – but, it’s going to happen, and the carbide TCT’s handle it no problem. Where these are marketed as being for holes though “wood + nails”, my next hole included having to bisect 3 12d framing nails. That hole was just as fast as the first, up to and including going through the 3 nails. Immediately, the boring got noticeably slower. You can clearly see that that one nail encounter blunted the tips. I subsequently tried a 3rd, nail-free hole, and the speed with which the bit cut was about half of that 1st hole. Disappointing. Now, for holes in abrasive materials – like plaster walls, cement board – I’m sure this hole saw will hold up better than a traditional bi-metal one, but I will be obviously sticking with the 3-tooth TCT hole saws through framing and such.

I have used Milwaukee hold dozer saws quite a bit and they work well for me. They’ll cut though a nail without any issues, and they hold up fairly well over time. I had to use this particular hole saw to drill a hole through three-quarter inch hardwood and a three-quarter inch sub floor. I used my corded half-inch drill and made a very clean hole in no time at all. These hole saws are easy to attach, and material is easily removed with the help of a regular screwdriver.

Does a great job of not chewing up the wood when making sizable holes. The Milwaukee hole dozer hole saw does a very nice job of cutting through many types of wood. I was adding some lights to my arcade machine and needed to make some cuts in high density fiberboard (not MDF). This stuff is tough. I ended up cutting backwards because I found I was jumping a bit while cutting. The downside is you need to stop from time to time because it heats up faster. I had done some test cuts on regular 1×4 and it worked great in regular forward. No jumps. I’ll also mention that it does not come with an arbor, but I had one already so it was easy to swap over and use with this. Remains sharp even after my 3 heavy duty fiberboard cuts in reverse. Should last for years.

Works like it should. Clean cuts and easy to use. Worked great to drill some small holes in our plywood eave soffit for mini can lights. Milwaukee makes superb tools and this won’t wear out anytime soon. The carbine teeth have a warranty against breakage which is always a perk! Works with Milwaukee’s change arbor. Good value for the premium quality. Will buy again for the next hole saw size I need.

I have been a builder remodeler for 49 years, and as such I have many opportunities to use a tool like this Milwaukee 2-3/4 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 Milwaukee 2-3/4 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. 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.

This hole saw blade is sharp and very accurate. The kerf is wide and helps keep the residual plug of thinner woods from being stuck up in the sawblade. It has a hole for access to get the plug out. The blade is very sturdy and plowed through fir studs easily. It is only good for a bit more than an inch and 1/2 of depth, so studs are the limit of depth. The coarse tooth count makes fast work of holes.

MILWAUKEE 2 – 3/4 IN. CARBIDE HOLE DOZER SAW I don’t know why I expected this to come as a complete hole saw but I did. It is just the hole borer and not the arbor. I guess I should have paid attention. After I purchased the arbor we were up and running. Milwaukee tools are great tools overall and this is no exception. Quick, clean cut on both sides of the cut. A lot of times a hole saw will bind and over heat fairly quickly when drilling through hard woods, this one did great throughout the entire cut.

I found the Milwaukee 2 3/4 inch carbide hole dozer saw has great cutting power. The large carbide cutters and the deep of one and a half inches makes the cutting job easy. It can be used on wood, plastic, aluminum, cement board or metal. These saws do a great job with nail embedded wood also. I used a arbor I already had, it’s a Milwaukee 49-56-1740. The hole dozer saw includes the Plug Jack feature which are larger slots on both sides of the saw making removing the plug much easier and less time consuming. I expect to get many years of service life from this quality tool. The hole dozer saws come in twenty six different sizes from 7/8 to 6 inches in diameter. This cutter has a lifetime warranty against tooth breakage.

If you need a hole of a very specific diameter Milwaukee hole saws deliver. I used the 2-3/4″ hole saw in a 2 x 6 to test the accuracy and even with a hand held drill the hole is dead on. I am actually more interested in the plug that it makes as I will be using them for wheels, and the plug is just over 2-1/2″ which is perfect. Once they are sanded smooth they will be 2-1/2″ with the axle hole already centered! The plugs release nicely so you won’t waste time trying to pry them out.

I use Milwaukee Brand Carbide Tipped Hole Dozers for a variety of projects. What I want to share with other people is that if you are drilling holes in old plaster walls to blow insulation in (for instance), this is absolutely the BEST blade that I’ve found. It seems to last far longer than anything else. Old horsehair plaster will dull a normal (non-carbide) hole saw quicker than anything. Buying a bunch of holes saws gets expensive. So, better to buy 1 or 2 high quality saws rather that dozens of cheap ones.

Milwaukee 2-3/4 in. Carbide Hole Dozer SawThis 70mm or 2-3/4-inch carbide hole saw is good for cutting wood, metal, cement board and similar materials. It has a cutting depth of 1.62 inches of material it can cut thru. This hole saw has a coating that helps to reduce friction during cutting and helps it to prevent binding while your cutting. The side of the hole saw has open slots so you can remove the material that has been cut out of the project you put a hole in. Nearly all my hole saws that I have gotten through the years are made by Milwaukee. I find them to be the best tool in terms of longevity and ease of use, not to mention they just seem to work better. If this is your first hole saw, it does not include the needed arbor which is required to operate this tool. This hole saw is made in the USA.
