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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
