I bought this 4 1/4 size to complete my Milwaukee Big Hawg hole saw kit and have a saw for installing 4 inch pipe. The hole saw easily cut through two 16 penny nails driven into a pressure treated 2×12 so it definitely cuts nails as advertised. This is the most aggressive hole saw I have ever used.

Worked flawlessly on my plaster ceilings.

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.

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.

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 2-1/8″ model is literally a 3-4 sec. hole through 2x pine framing, with any of my 18v drills.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.

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!

If you need to put vent holes through Hardi or similar siding, this is your tool. The bimetalic drills will wear out after two or three holes. This thing cuts fast and just keeps cutting.

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!

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.
