Milwaukee 49-56-0507 Diamond Max Hole Saw 5/16 in

Product Description

The Milwaukee 49-56-0507 is a diamond-tipped hole saw bit designed for cutting clean, accurate holes in glass, ceramic tile, porcelain, and other hard materials. At 5/16 inches in diameter, it is sized for small-bore applications where precision matters. The diamond-abrasive cutting edge delivers extended service life compared to standard carbide or bi-metal hole saws when working on hard, brittle surfaces. This bit is compatible with standard drill chucks and is typically used by tile installers, glaziers, plumbers, and general contractors who need to core through hard surfaces without cracking or spalling the material.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial applications including bathroom and kitchen tile work, glass panels, and masonry-adjacent materials. It is sold in a package quantity of 3 units, making it practical for repetitive small-bore tasks on job sites where bit wear is expected. Its 5/16-inch diameter makes it a common choice for fitting fixtures, mounting hardware, or routing small-diameter passages through finished tile surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by tile setters, glaziers, and plumbers working on hard surface materials. Before drilling, secure the workpiece firmly and use water or a wet sponge at the cutting point to reduce heat buildup, which can crack tile or glass. Apply steady, moderate pressure — do not force the bit. Follow applicable jobsite safety guidelines when working with glass or brittle tile to prevent material fracture and debris hazards.
