Milwaukee Tool 49-56-5641 Diamond Hole Saw 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-56-5641 is a diamond hole saw designed for cutting through hard tile surfaces including porcelain, ceramic tile, and natural stone. With a 1-3/4 inch cutting diameter and a 1-1/2 inch cutting depth, it handles through-cuts on wall and floor tile for plumbing, electrical, and fixture rough-in work. The continuous diamond cutting edge maintains consistent contact with the material, reducing chipping and cracking on brittle tile surfaces. It is compatible with standard power drills and is sold as a single unit. Tile setters, plumbers, and electricians routinely reach for this type of saw when cutting clean penetrations through finished tile.

This hole saw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where precise, chip-free holes are required in hard tile materials. Common install scenarios include cutting holes for shower valve trim, drain flanges, electrical boxes, and fixture supply lines through porcelain or stone tile surfaces. At 1-3/4 inch diameter, it matches common trim ring and escutcheon rough-in sizes for plumbing and electrical work. The arbor-less design means it requires a compatible arbor or mandrel for use in a standard drill chuck.

Installation Notes

Tile hole saws are typically used by plumbers, tile setters, and electricians during rough-in or finish work. Before cutting, mark the hole center with a pencil or tape to prevent the bit from walking on the slick tile surface. Use water or a wet-cutting method where possible to extend diamond life and reduce dust. Wear eye and respiratory protection when dry-cutting any stone or tile material.
