4 in. Big Hawg Carbide Hole SawThis is a really nice saw blade. The carbide seems to last very long and the three blade configuration is a definite advantage over traditional saw blade. The reason is two part. First the three blades have a huge relief area for the chips to go into. This means less cleaning of the hole out while drilling. Second the space between the blades is flat and set a small distance below the blade. This means the saw remains level in the cutting hole and the blades are always cutting the proper depth of material. This is a very clever design. See the pictures and video.

Yea Baby – That’s what I’m talking about! This Big Hawg Carbide Hole Saw can cut some holes! I have to say I was skeptical at first just by looking at the design – but the first hole made me a believer. I have a bunch of hole saws – the ones with the finer teeth – but on larger holes they just seem to take forever and clearing them is a pain. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was – and I have cut some holes in my day. At first I was going to chuck this up in the Milwaukee Hole Hawg – a beast that you really need to be careful with – but decided to use my 18 volt Milwaukee drill instead. Watch the attached video and you be the judge. As for me, I will be using the Big Dog Hawgs going forward. Thank you Milwaukee!

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.

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!

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

I love all of the Milwaukee products and the big hawg carbide teeth did not disappoint. Was able to cut off nails easily and no problems at all. When I was cutting out holes I did not notice and jagged edges. I had to make a cut into plywood and this went into the wood fairly quickly. Using my drill the saw felt very solid with hardly any vibration. Very high quality and a real time saver.

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 got this to drill a hole through stucco. It wasn’t easy, but this got the job done. It helped to spray some water in there while it was attempting to dig into that plaster.

While traditional bi-metal hole saws still have their place in certain applications, for rough holes in framing members – and especially anywhere that nails might be encountered – 3-tooth carbide hole saws such as these Milwaukee Big Hawgs, can’t be beat.As a residential electrical contractor, boring holes in wood framing members is something I do most days – some days, much of the day. For many years, self-feed bits were the only real option to the professional for larger holes. While they also provide for rapid boring, one good nail strike and they require costly sharpening. They also require a lot of drill. The Big Hawgs, were they are only cutting the kerf of the saw out, require a lot less drill, making them ideal, with today’s cordless job.This 3-5/8″ model is a 6-second hole through 2x pine framing, with either drill pictured. In my video there, I am cutting through 3 12d common framing nails, which this thing just eats up. Just ease off a little bit, and let the carbide teeth chip away at the nail. That hole was still only roughly a 10-second hole. No discernible damage or wear was evident after doing this multiple times. Again, these are designed for rapid large holes through framing and other construction materials, and excel at it. If you require a more refined hole, or are drilling through thin, brittle material – such as vinyl siding – a traditional hole saw is what you seek.

Very expensive but on the first 9 holes thru plaster and lath it has held up.

2-1/8 in. Milwaukee Big Hawg Carbide Hole Saw is for fast hole cutting in wood even with nails embedded in the wood. Each Hawg bit is rated for cutting 1000 nails. This is a very aggressive fast cutting hole saw that leaves reasonable smooth holes in the wood. This is a rough-cut hole saw and will not replace a fine-tooth hole saw, when very smooth holes are needed as in finish or cabinet work. This is the actual cutting head and you will need the typical one-inch arbor that holds replaceable pilot bits. At a slow speed this cuts fast and cuts with-out any resistance when cutting nails. At 1500 RPMs your wrist will tell you when you hit a nail. The Hawg cuts through nails without any visible damage to the three thick carbide teeth. This is an excellent fast cutting large bore hole cutter. Photos show evidence of an embedded nail in the stud prior to installing a whole house vac pipe. Wood plugs drop out easily compared to other hole saws and easily drills holes up to; 2 7/16 deep. Another fine product from Milwaukee.

Great bit to own. We punched a lot of holes (18) through Hardy Board and it cut like butter.

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.
