Quality and performance

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.

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.

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.

Cut 23 circular holes in metal 1/8 thick with no difficulty. Worked great

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!

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.

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.

Works great. Was a replacement as my previous hole saw wore 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

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.

These hole saw bits do a nice job. I drilled 10 consecutive holes in a row on a 1X6 board for a project that I was doing building a fishing rod holder. I can honestly say that the last hole I drilled was no more difficult than the first one. I drilled these holes with my battery operated drill. There were no issues drilling the holes other than the they did generate some heat, which is to be expected, but did not affect the performance. I’d recommend using these bits and they would particularly work well drilling through sheetrock or less dense materials.

I used this with a BuildPro pipe coping tool. I used it on 1.5″ Stainless Steel Sch 40 pipe (1.9″ OD) and it worked awesome. I did use Tapmatic Edge lube, and let the hole saw do the cutting. I must have coped 50 pipes or more, without any issue. I did snap off one carbide tooth, but the it didn’t stop work. On such a hard material as 316 Stainless Steel, this was a small price to pay for so much work.

Did an excellent job cutting through thick stainless steel.

I got this hole dozer saw to make compact speaker enclosures. I finally received the correct arbor and I was surprised at just how well this saw works. My future plan is to buy an unfinished shed – and convert it into a nice cabin and I’m sure this carbide saw will make it much easier when installing a nice wood burning stove and the opening for a washer/dryer vent. I highly recommend this Milwaukee dozer saw to anyone who has a need.

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.
