These hole saws work great. I have already ordered more.

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

Just what the doctor ordered

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.

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.

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

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.

Used it for stucco for range hood vent. It worked well

This Big Hawk Carbide Saw does what they say goes right through the material you are drilling in with less binding up or pushing on it

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
