                Do you have to use a hammer drill or will a standard drill work?
                ByMar 8, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                You do not need a hammer drill to use the Milwaukee 1/4" Diamond Max Hole Saw. It is designed to work with standard drills, as it features a 1/4" quick-change hex shank that is compatible with most standard drill chucks. This makes it versatile and easy to use for cutting tile, stone, and glass.

                  Needs an ejection slot
                  Without a core ejection slot, the hole plugs up quickly and walks the bit out of the hole. I had to stop constantly to try and scrap out the core. This resulted in the overall bit dulling after just a few holes in porcelain tile.

                    This hole saw worked exactly as advertised. It cut a clean, precise 1/4-inch hole through my bathroom ceramic tile quickly and with very little effort. Used with water for cooling, it stayed sharp and made installation simple. I would definitely buy it again.

                    Works on concrete/cinder block
                    I wanted a nice clean hole for a 3/4in conduit through my CMU basement wall. I don't have a big SDS rotary hammer. This did the trick well! It's deep enough to handle each wall of the hollow portion of the block. I pre-drilled a 1/4 guide hole to keep my holes aligned. It then took about a minute of cutting for each side, flushing with a water hose every 10 seconds to keep it cool.

                      High quality
                      The job was completed correctly, resulting in an excellent product. The process is straightforward once you understand how to start.

                        I used this saw bit to cut a hole for a reverse osmosis water spout in the top of my kitchen sink. The sink is porcelain-cast iron and its about 1/4" thick. It took quite a while to cut all the way through the sink. I kept spraying water in the hole I was cutting. You have to stop occasionally and clean the grindings out of the hole. This helped the saw bit cut better. It did the job.

                        Not great
                        The quick change shank would get stuck and I had to beat it out tomorrow release.

                        Hi, David. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear about the difficulty removing the quick‑change shank. Our team will be in touch with you directly to discuss this further.
                          Cut very hard porcelain
                          I was so worried about cracking the tile . Because the holes on the rail lined up exactly on the edge of tile . Look at these hole cuts . THANK YOU! This was some hard porcelain. I’m scared to use this same bit after four more holes on my next shower . The tip of the bit has a hole that I keep cleaning out because it was getting clogged . I wondr if the bit had slit cuts if it would work better but . It did its job !

                            Quick way to make the MOEN holes
                            I needed to install the MOEN grab bars in t shower and the attachment device needed this size hole. It cut through the tile, cement and wire layer, and drywall layer without lubrication or difficulty. Fortunately I had the fitting this bit needs to be screwed into to be driven. The edges were perfect. Easy to pry the wall fragments out of the bit with its many side ports.

                              Didn’t even last 1 hole!
                              Bought the 1” hole saw and it didn’t even last through 1 hole! It was worn out about halfway through 3/8” porcelain tile, and now I need to find another brand to finish this hole.

                              We're sorry to hear this, Aaron! It sounds like the hole saw did not hold up during your first application, and we understand your frustration. Our team will reach out via email to help.
                                Great but short length
                                It really works great. Cuts a hole in 10 seconds easily. I wish it was longer. It should be longer because you can't put an attachment on it. It being only 5/16. An extension is too thick. I am only cutting 8 holes a day. If you are doing more. Maybe it degrades??
