Frequently Asked Questions
What hole saw sizes come in the 49-56-9285 kit?
This 8-piece kit includes the four most popular rough-in plumbing sizes: 2-1/8", 2-9/16", 3-5/8", and 4-1/4" hole saws, along with a 7/16" hex arbor, two carbide-tipped multi-material pilot bits, a diamond sharpening file, and a heavy-duty carrying case.
Can the BIG HAWG cut through cement board and plaster?
Yes. The oversized carbide teeth are engineered to cut through abrasive materials that immediately destroy standard steel saws, including cement backer board, lath and plaster, acoustic tile, and exterior stucco.
How do you remove the core plug from the cup?
The hole saws feature deep, oversized clearance slots on the side wall. Simply slide a flat-blade screwdriver into the slot and twist or pry against the wood plug for instant, jam-free ejection.
What type of drill is recommended to run these hole saws?
Because of the aggressive cutting action and large diameters, it is recommended to run BIG HAWG hole saws in a heavy-duty 1/2" cordless right-angle drill (such as the Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER HAWG) or high-torque mud-mixer drill in low gear.
Can the carbide teeth be sharpened if they hit steel?
Yes. Milwaukee includes a custom diamond file in the kit so you can touch up and restore the cutting edges of the carbide teeth right on the jobsite.
