Milwaukee tools just can’t be beat. This Big Hawk Carbide Hole Saw did the trick in cutting holes through the framing studs making it easier to cut holes for the new electrical and cable lines in a new structure. The cuts are fast and smooth. It does take someone with good strength to use it and after one attempt I turned it over to one of the guys to use (I am a small woman) and I watched. The electrician loved it and plans to replace his with this one. I haven’t used it on anything that had nails to cut through yet, but based on its performance on the 2″ studs, I am certain it will work well.

I have been a big fan of Milwaukee for a long, long time. So I have been a bit dismayed that they moved their production overseas. A couple of recent tools have been short of my expectations. But, overall they do still seem to distribute a great product. This “Hole Saw”, is reminiscent of their production standards of awhile back. Mind you, they still produce good stuff. Their product control standards are in place. But I digress, this “Hole Saw” weighs in at a whopping 2 Lbs packaged, this is a saw not for a small drill, so again my Milwaukee Hawg angled drill will power this saw through walls. Solid and impressive Hole Saw, still a fan.

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

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

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.
