Milwaukee Tool 49-56-0426 Hole Saw 1-3/8 in Masonry

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-56-0426 is a solid carbide grit hole saw designed for cutting through hard, abrasive materials including brick, cement, ceramic, fiberglass, masonry, and tile. With a 1-3/8 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch cutting depth, this saw delivers consistent performance on demanding substrates where standard bi-metal hole saws fall short. The toothed cutting edge provides controlled material removal, making it a reliable choice for trade professionals who need clean, accurate holes in hard surfaces. It accepts a standard 1/4 inch round shank arbor and is packaged individually for single-replacement or tool-bag stocking.

This hole saw is suited for residential and commercial applications where penetrations through tile backsplashes, ceramic fixtures, masonry block, fiberglass panels, or cementboard are required. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians use it for routing pipe, conduit, or duct penetrations through hard wall and floor surfaces. It is also commonly used by tile setters and general contractors for fixture and drain rough-ins. The compact 1-3/8 inch diameter is a standard size for many plumbing and electrical rough-in applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with drilling into hard and brittle substrates. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate eye and respiratory protection when cutting masonry, cement, or ceramic materials, as these produce fine particulate dust. Verify the arbor shank diameter matches the 1/4 inch round shank before mounting. Allow the saw to reach full speed before contact with the work surface to reduce the risk of blade skating or chipping.
