I needed a good set of hole saws for cutting steel as well as wood. I do alot of crafting and wood projects. So I got this set to try out. I put it to the test today cutting stainless steel as well as soft woods and hard woods. MY old set or cheap set burns the wood every time I use it to cut holes so I got a better set. This set is alot better. The saw blades are marked on the side as well as on top, The small Arber mounts easy and the blade locks in tight after using it I had to chuck it up to hold it in place to remove the blade with a wrench it was so tight. Its a good thing keeps the blade stright when cutting. Then when using the lager size blades that arber is even better I really like the way the slide lock pegs work to lock the blade in tight. You just slide it up on down to lock or unlock the blades. This makes very fast blade changes possible. I cut a 1 1/8″ hole in the stainless steel very easy. Then I made a 1 1/2 in hole in pine wood then a piace of hard wood with out a problem. Then I really tested the 1 3/4 inch hole saw making a hole in black walnut that was 1 3/4″ thick. Had no problems on any one of them and did not burn the woods at all. The woods tend to dull the blades faster than steel but after cutting the hard woods the blade was just as sharp as if I just took it out of the box for the first time. Thay are well desigend with large clean out holes and that helps keep the blades cooler when using them. As well as making it easy to get the wood plugs out of the blades after cutting. This is the best set of holes saws I have had so far to date. Very well made they work great and came in a good case that keeps them all togother. Plus there is a exter drill bit in the case. I know you can buy cheaper sets I did but its going to be very hard to find better sets. All I need now is some sizes between the ones I have now to complete my sets so I can do anything between the standard sizes as well.

The Milwaukee “Hole Dozer” 16-piece Bi-Metal Hole Saw Set is a perfect starter set for a homeowner or craftsman. Eleven-hole saws are provided, 3/4 inch through 2 ½ inch size. The 1 ½ inch hole saw and larger uses a quick-change arbor which uses 2 pins to secure the hole saw. Just screw the selected hole saw all the way on the arbor with the sliding pins in the retracted. Next align the pins with the holes in the hole saw base and then slide the pins into the holes of the hole saw (see provided pictures). For hole saws 1 3/8 inch or smaller just a threaded arbor is used (no pins). Mounted on each arbor is a pilot drill bit that guides the hole saw teeth as they cut into the work piece. There is a spare drill bit and allen wrench provided with the set. The drill bit is held in place with a set screw. When you are cutting wood, after the hole saw cut is complete the hole saw has a large plug in it. Milwaukee provides large holes on the side of the hole saw for access to the plug so it can be removed. With a screwdriver or an awl. The tooth design on each hole saw is designed to keep the teeth from breaking when cutting hard materials. Each saw is also is coated with a Thermoset Coating to minimize friction when cutting the hole. The case is molded with plastic buttons that are the size of the arbor thread, so the individual hole saws are held in place during transport. Larger size hole saws can be purchased separately and work with the provided 2 pin arbor. This Hole Saw set could not be better. I highly recommend it.

Milwaukee Hole Dozer Pros: Professional quality tool, sturdy plastic carrying case, 11 hole saws. Cons: No instructions for attaching and removing hole saws (assumes user is experienced and knows how to do this). What I like about this set is the obvious quality of the tools. The tooth design of the hole saws is such that it prevents breaking of the material being sawn. The coating of the hole saws allows for smooth cutting without hang-ups. The pilot bit screws securely onto the hole saw and then clicks securely into guide holes by pushing the arbor into the back of the hole saw. The entire set is stored securely in a sturdy, plastic carrying case. The set comes with a spare pilot bit and an allen key for removing the arbor. The hole I cut was done quickly and the edges were cut cleanly. The set also comes with recommended rpm’s for the different size hole saws. Finally, I like the hexagonal shank that can fit a 3/8” portable drill or a bench drill. What I don’t like about the set is that it doesn’t come with instructions for attaching the hole saw to the arbor. In the end, I was able to get the hole saw attached and detached from the arbor but the process was not exactly obvious. Highly recommended.

Milwaukee a name that is known for quality not quantity in the construction industry. Tools made in “THE GOOD OLD USA” that stand up to the rigors of everyday use and warranty on their tools that is one of the best, if not the best in the industry. This Milwaukee Hole Dozer 16 piece hole saw kit comes with two quick change arbors for the smaller hole saws and a larger arbor for the larger hole saws. Milwaukee labels this set as the Hole Dozer right so because they really dig-in to multi-materials. From cement to steel, the “Rip Guard” tooth design prevents breaking. One of the best warranties in the industry guaranteeing against tooth breakage for a limited lifetime warranty. It all goes back to ” You Get What You Pay For”. With Milwaukee’s “Thermoset Coating” makes it one of the fastest cutting hole saws in the industry. I can’t say enough how satisfied with the saws performance.
