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.

A very good bit for old thick wood

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.

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 5-1/4″ model is roughly an 8-second hole through 2x pine framing, in my M18 Hole Hawg.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.

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.

Great bit to own. We punched a lot of holes (18) through Hardy Board and it cut like butter.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
