Hole Dozer Hole Saw with Carbide Teeth - 7/8"

WOW these hole saws are great. I use them for cutting through sheetrock walls with metal studs in the way, and horse-hair plaster walls. They cut with ease and removing the plugs afterwards is so much easier with the multiple openings. Very sharp and so far no ware on the carbide teeth. The arbors are tough and strong, the rubber "O" ring helps the locking-nut from backing off. It would be great if the smaller arbor shank could be bored out so a feeler-bit could be used, so to drill through (straight) both sides of a wall.

I used the 1 3/8” right away and it worked perfectly. Easy to attach and cut. Getting the cut piece out of the dozer is a bit difficult. I used a screw driver to unscrew the dozer so I could pop the cut piece out of the dozer. But overall great. The only problem I had was with the larger dozer. The shank is to large to fit in any of the the three drills I own (I even tried a different brand that I had) so I will have to see which driver can accommodate the shank so I can use the larger sizes.

I got these as a try me from Milwaukee. After reading the other reviews I put the negative to the test. I can see where people are having a hard time with getting the arbor off after use. The rubber o-ring is something that Milwaukee didn't need to reinvent wheel with. It invites overtighening, instead of hand tightening the nut. I can see newbies trying to use wrenches to tighten it and having the problems. A few times doing this and you'll blow out the o-ring, causing it to seize on the hole saw. I've used my Milford arbor for 15+ years now, with zero problems. Other reviews had out of round hole saws. Mine cut great with no problems. The saws are the best you can buy and I'll be using these a long time. The arbor could use some work for everyday real use. I can't give 5 stars because of the arbor.

Used the 1", 1-1/4" and 3-1/4" Hole Dozer's to cut through 1/4" thick, 6061 aluminum plate. After cutting many holes through the abrasive aluminum plate, the cuts were clean and the cutouts were easy to remove from the Hole Dozer's access holes. The small and large arbor design eliminates annoying slippage for a quick cut. When cutting holes in tight spots where the 1/4" pilot drill bit is too long, I have had to shorten the pilot bit so I don't drill into what's behind it.

I can't say enough great things about this hole saw set. I needed to put some 1" holes in 2 pieces of steel roofing for a custom wood bin I was building for a customer that would match his home and not only did this set cut thru the metal roofing like a hot knife cutting butter but is also cut through 1" thick plywood with no issues. I'm very pleased with this set as well as "ALL" my MILWAUKEE tools.

I used this to drill holes in plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel, and it chewed through it all. I have used many hole saws and this design was the best. I always struggle with getting out the slug, but even that was eaiser with this design. I also love the quick way to change the arbor as well. I will be adding more sizes to my collection.

I ended up using this product for making door holes. Unlike other hole dozers ive used in the past they tend to wear down quick or wont cut smooth through. Again this was the first couple of times I will find out more in how it acts with more projects I am able to use it. But i really did like how smooth it went through from start to finish.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity, The Hole Dozer saw kit looks and works great. Very nicely manufactured, I only had the chance to use them on wood and they went through it like butter. Anyone would have a great tool added to their collection if they bought any of the Hole Dozer series.
