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!

Look forward to the new innovations that Milwaukee puts into their new versions of old products. When you are a seasoned tradesman you realize the innovation that goes into these upgraded tools. With the bigger hole bits you have to be concerned with your battery power and this bit works well and stays sharp. I am really happy with the innovation and the results of this product! Thanks!

Great hole saw that ejects chips and plugs and stays coolI find many hole saws to be frustrating as the teeth are quickly buried in the wood and so they no longer clear chips and so slow down and get super hot. That burns the cut and quickly dulls the teeth so they wear out. To add insult to injury you’re stuck trying to wedge a plug out of the saw with a screw driver so you can make the next cut.This hole saw addresses basically all those problems. With two big carbide teeth and deep troughs the bit quickly clears chips as you’re drilling. I got no burning on my test cuts and the plug fell right out without any problems. Really, there isn’t anything more you could ask.Who is this for:Anyone cutting 1 3/4″ holes through sheathing or studsWho isn’t this for:Anyone needing to cut square bottom holes or make it through more than about 3″ of material

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!

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

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.

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.

While traditional bi-metal hole saws still have their place in certain applications, for rough holes in framing members 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 4″ model is an 8-second hole through 2x pine framing with my M18 Hole Hawg. With the smaller drill pictured it was roughly a 15-second hole, as I dropped it down to low gear (which I would not recommend anyone other than a pro user doing – I only used this size drill to show how efficiently these Big Hawgs cut).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.
