Questions & Answers

Cut tile and porcelain?
ByFeb 27, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

The Milwaukee Hole Dozer Bi-Metal Hole Saw PACKOUT Kit is designed for general-purpose applications, particularly excelling in metal cutting. However, it is not specifically designed for cutting tile or porcelain. For such materials, Milwaukee offers carbide-tipped hole saws, which are better suited for harder surfaces like tile and porcelain.

    In the picture "kit includes" it lists 5 hole saws including a 3 inch but down in "product details" it lists only 4 hole saws not including a 3 inch. Which is it 4 or 5 hole saws and what sizes are actually included?

      I agree, that’s deceptive to show the 3” included in the pictures (as a 5th hole saw) but to not include it in what you actually receive.

                    Very durable
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent quality hole saw kit. There are several sizes so it’s nice to have especially for at home projects where you want clean holes. It really bothers me when homes have jagged and poorly cut holes in cabinetry, plaster and plumbing spaces so this will be great for those areas. The hole saw has greater capability than just wood and plaster so there is flexibility for more advanced projects and materials. If you are handy with projects around the house this kit has plenty of sizes for most project. The quality is also superb. Just one note that the hole saw has more coarse teeth (spaced far apart) compared to other saws that have teeth that are less spaced apart.

                      Big Boy's Toy!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit is definitely a big boy's toy and we are thrilled to bits with it. My husband has assumed ownership of it as he is the one who tackles all of our construction jobs. The Packout carrier that comes with it is essential as it keeps everything well organized. It is a excellent tool set capable of a variety of rough work tasks. It is not, however, suitable for the types of jobs that require a finer finish. The kit includes 5 hole saws of different sizes ranging from 2 1/8" to 4 5/8" and three bits that can penetrate anything from wood to drywall. If I had to describe this kit, I would say it is extremely durable, strong and sturdy. I have to assume it is going to be long-lasting given the demanding jobs it is going to have to undertake. Any task can be accomplished at breakneck speed, and it is true that the hole saws will drill through nails with the utmost of ease as advertised. We recently used parts of the kit to cut through a vanity unit we are refurbishing and again to cut through plasterboard. Both tasks turned out to be a breeze and the finished product looked professional. Several friends and colleagues have expressed an interest in this product, and we were pleased to recommend it.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly what I needed. Big hole saw set for big holes. Cuts clean and fast. Very nice case that is able to add to other packout tools. Makes it so handy to be able to have all the tools together.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these about a month ago and I am so happy that I did. They work way better than my ideal ones plus it comes with the pack out! It has cut holes in plastic wood metal stainless steel and other things for me. It is very very easy to use and get the job done by far better than any others that I have bought.

                              Received the Milwaukee BigHawg 9 piece carbide teeth hole saw kit. Item # 49-56-9295. These hole saws will go through wood with nails (although I would avoid going through nails if possible because it’s going to take a toll on the bit), cement board, plaster, and shingles. I needed larger sizes and this kit fits the bill with 2 1/8, 2 9/16, 3”, 3 5/8 and 4 5/8. It also comes with Arbor with Pilot bit, 2 Big Hawg with carbide teeth Clean Wood pilot bits and a fantastic pack out carrier to hold everything. I do a lot of rough in work in new construction and additions work and my old stuff needed to be replaced. After reading reviews and a few manufacturers,I decided that the Big Hawg by Milwaukee was the one for me. Tried out one of the saws and it was like cutting through butter compared to my old stuff (see picture). The only con that might be concern for finish work is that they do cut a rough hole. I would highly recommend this kit.

                              Man oh man, I love this Milwaukee BIG HAWG 9-piece Carbide Hole Saw Kit with PACKOUT case. This is the perfect do-it-all hole saw to have on hand when you don't know what type of material you are going to encounter. I have the Milwaukee DOZER hole saws and they do a great job but the BIG HAWG excels at it. The sizes in the set seemed a little odd and non-standard and I honestly don't know what their true intent is. I have put holes in a wide variety of material for running electrical conduit, water lines, drain lines and these hole saws never once faltered. My two biggest complaints when using hole saws are dulling and difficulty removing the plugs. These suffer from neither. Actually, I think I must have set a personal time record for getting a plug out of a hole saw. For me, that alone makes them worth the extra expense. These will cost you more up front but you will recoup that in the life expectancy.

                              The Milwaukee big hawg carbide hole saws are amazing. Gone are the days of bimetal blades that burn up quick. The hole saws are a must if doing anytype of rough in work. The bits grab nicely and feed through the wood with little effort. Being carbide a nail hit isn't the end of the bit, they take a beating and could easily be resharpend and have a tooth replaced if need be. The case it come is is part of the pack out storage system which is great all in its self.

                              This is the best hole saw I have ever used. The Milwaukee big hawg kit is an exceptional set of tools. The carbide hole bits are rugged, cut accurately through wood and composite materials and most importantly, through nails and screws in the wood. The box is jobsite tough with secure latches and mounts on the back to fit the Milwaukee tool boxes. The kit includes two wood and one spiral pilot bits. Milwaukee lives up to its motto, Quality Portable Tools.
