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 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.

Used this to cut holes in “support wood” over a drop ceiling for led lights. Worked great and made the task go quickly. I have 25 more holes to do so that was a great tool for this job…

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

As a plumber, I carry alot of wood boring bits. Milwaukee hole saw bits never let me down. Last a long time too. These style bits are awesome

Milwaukee never lets me down! These are amazing hole saws that pretty much rips through any material yet leaves a clean and perfectly honed hole. They aren’t overly heavy and works well with their m12 drills. My only wish is that they come in a bundle with several sizes and a kit that holds them all together. Overall these are by far some of the best hole saws you can buy.

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.

Note for purchase, you need a Milwaukee 49-56-9305 arbor which is sold separately. Milwaukee’s saw blades have always held up for me longer than other brands. I know that they will hold up well and I won’t have an issue with it. This blade is no exception. I was able to easily cut through 2 different materials, one that I knew was littered with nails. This didn’t burn out and I’m confident will do the job on many more projects.
