Doesn’t look like it but it goes right thru concrete. Works great !
Walker Ward (verified owner) –
this hole saw cut right thru the steel that I needed a hole in.

Breezed through 18ga gauge steel like butter.

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.

Drilled through the backer board and plywood in an instance!

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!

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!

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.

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.

works excellent on fiberglass pools cutting holes for return jets.

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.

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

Did an excellent job cutting through thick stainless steel.

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.

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 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.
