Milwaukee 49-56-0704 Carbide Hole Saw 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 49-56-0704 is a 7/8-inch carbide hole saw designed for cutting through extreme materials where standard bi-metal saws fall short. Part of the Hole Dozer line, it uses carbide teeth technology rated for up to 50 times longer life compared to bi-metal alternatives. The 4 TPI carbide tooth design prioritizes durability and longevity in demanding applications, including stainless steel. A thermoset coating reduces friction drag to improve cutting speed and support cordless tool efficiency. This saw is installed by electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who regularly cut through hard or abrasive substrates.

This hole saw is suited for trade professionals working in residential and commercial settings where tough materials like stainless steel, cast iron, or similar hard substrates are encountered. It is commonly used when punching holes for conduit, pipe, or fixture rough-in work. The Plug Jack T-Slot design improves access and leverage when removing material slugs from the saw body, reducing downtime between cuts. Its carbide construction makes it a preferred choice on job sites where bi-metal saws wear out quickly.
