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.

works excellent on fiberglass pools cutting holes for return jets.

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.

The Hole Dozer makes a very clean and precise hole, at least in wood. The arbor holes are compatible with the Milwaukee Hole Hawg as well so you can use the arbors from the Hawg kit with the Hole Dozer. When cutting through wood, be careful not to put too much pressure on one side as the saw can grab and stall or spin the wood stock around. The round wood cutting can be easily removed from the saw but there are access ports on the side in case you need to pry it out.

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!

I had previously purchased one of these hole saws for my husband and after using it, he asked me to order a few more in different sizes.He says that they are great. They are tough, easy to set up and to remove. He has used plenty in the past that would get 3-4 uses and then dull so badly that they had to be tossed out.These seem to have much greater durability.

Quality and performance

The Milwaukee dozer hole saws are fantastic. My wife got me the set of smaller diameters for Christmas a few years ago but I’ve been slowly adding the larger sizes over time. This 5 inch saw fits the “big” chuck that comes in the sets. I’ve been making some oval workbench cutouts and this size is perfect for the end radius. They are bimetal but to be honest I’ve only ever used them on wood so your mileage may vary if you hit a nail or something. I wish they were a little cheaper for what they are… but like the old saying, you get what you pay for and these are the best I’ve used.

Perfect for the job I have to do.

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.

Average rating is due to the slight oval shape and sloppy weld of the material. This caused the saw to cut a larger than stated size hole.

Doesn’t look like it but it goes right thru concrete. Works great !

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.

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.

Carbide helps cut through plastic very well!!

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.

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.
