This Big Hawk Carbide Saw does what they say goes right through the material you are drilling in with less binding up or pushing on it

I have a couple of the other sizes of these hole saws, and this Milwaukee 2-3/4 in. Big Hawg Carbide Hole Saw is one tough carbide toothed hole saw! These things are built Milwaukee tough, not like those cheap imported tin-metal hole saws you see everywhere for dirt cheap prices. These are great for contractors or the casual DYI homeowner. You will need the separate mandrel if you don’t already have it, but it fits all these Big Hawg saws. It too is one serious piece of equipment and well worth the cost. I love Milwaukee tools, and own many of their products, and trust them to always make tools that last many years. Thanks Milwaukee, and Home Depot!

I waited a while to write a review on this hole saw from Milwaukee because I wanted to see the results of it in real world testing. I install electrical conduit and use hole saws everyday. I used the 3″ carbide toothed saw to cut through metal, plywood, 2×8’s and such. The real test was to make multiple cuts one after the other through a commercial roof, rubber membrane, tar, steel , wood and foam insulation. The big hawg hole saw never slowed Down even with a 12″ extension attached to it. I don’t have a picture of it because it would not do it justice. I will be getting more of them I the future.

First off, this hole saw is not for finesse work on anything. It is a hawg when busting through wood and it does so in very quick and efficient manner. It is very deep and could probably easily put a hole through 4″ thick stock without a problem. The design is also intended to cut through nails in wood without even noticing. I did not drill any beams with nails, but the board I put a hole in didn’t stand a chance.If you need a quick hole through wood, with or without nails, this is the ticket. It comes in other sizes, I got the 3 5/8 because that is what I use the most. Needs a Milwaukee quick connect shank, and due to the depth of the hole saw, you will need a longer pilot bit in the shank. Excellent quality for the price, as is usual.

Much needed addition for plumbing large diameter sewage pipes. Heavy but durable. Worked great with Milwaukee Super Hawg.

The Big Hawg is becoming the Go To Hole Saw. As my others wear-out i will be replacing them with the Hawg. It works great in plaster ceilings when cutting in lights and boxes. Need a longer pilot bit, and a little pricey. Hopefully will last much longer than traditional Hole Saws.

These new Milwaukee Big Hawg hole saws are nasty they will drill thru wood like butter, I tried mine out on a 2×4 and it went thru it in just a few seconds. I didn’t know what to expect with it only having 3 teeth but let me tell you it is a flat out monster! The carbide teeth on it are razor sharp and will make quick work of any job and the large gullets make ejecting chips faster and also when you go to pull the plug you drilled out the large gullets make it super easy! This only comes with the hole saw, you have to buy the arbor separate and I know they recommend arbor Model # 49-56-9305, however they did not have this in my store and I was eager to try this hole saw so I bought arbor model number Model # 49-56-7250 and it works great with the Big Hawg hole saw, I really like how it is a tool free removable arbor that is a great feature. I definitely recommend these hole saws they are monsters!

This is another of those products that takes a SawzAll and a half stick of dynamite to get it out of the packaging, which is really, really annoying (I dinged it one star for that). Other than that, the carbide tips are thick and sharp and can probably be sharpened several times if one had the capability of doing that. It takes a standard arbor, which anyone who regularly uses hole saws should have (as opposed to a Freud/Diablo hole saw I recently purchased, which only accepts a Freud arbor), and it is fairly deep–a full two inches even after accounting for the arbor protrusion. If you are new to large hole saws and have a powerful 1/2″ drill (all of the arbors for this size hole saw require a 1/2″ drill, unless you can find an adapter somewhere), start your cut slowly to minimize binding or you are likely to end up with a sprained wrist. Once the teeth are buried in the hole, binding is less likely as long as you keep the saw straight.
