Milwaukee Tool 49-56-0444 Hole Saw 2 in Carbide Grit

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-56-0444 is a solid carbide grit hole saw designed for cutting through hard, abrasive materials that standard bi-metal saws cannot handle reliably. With a 2-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch cutting depth, this saw uses a toothed carbide grit edge to grind through dense substrates rather than shearing them. The 1/4-inch round shank mounts directly into standard drill chucks and right-angle drives common on job sites. Licensed trades and tile installers rely on this tool when working in masonry, ceramic, and fiberglass applications where clean, controlled penetrations are required.

This hole saw is built for use on brick, cement, ceramic tile, fiberglass panels, masonry, and masonry brick. It is suited to both residential and light commercial work where a contractor needs a consistent 2-inch opening in hard-surface materials. Typical installations include through-wall penetrations for pipe stubs, electrical conduit entry points through tile backers, and drain fitting cutouts in ceramic or fiberglass surrounds. The compact 1-inch depth keeps the saw manageable in tight or shallow-wall conditions.

Key Features

• Solid carbide grit construction handles abrasive materials that wear down standard bi-metal saws
• Toothed cutting edge provides controlled material removal in ceramic, masonry, and fiberglass
• 2-inch saw diameter produces a consistent, accurately sized opening

Compatibility

Designed for use in materials including brick, cement, ceramic, fiberglass, masonry, masonry brick, and tile. Accepts any drill or driver with a standard 1/4-inch chuck or quick-connect hex adapter.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber, electrician, or tile setter typically installs hole saws of this type during rough-in or finish work. Before cutting, confirm the work surface is secure and that no concealed utilities run behind the cut location. Use water or appropriate coolant when cutting ceramic or dense masonry to reduce heat buildup and extend saw life. Eye protection and dust control measures are required when cutting masonry or cement board materials.
