Milwaukee Tool 49-56-5656 Diamond Hole Saw 2-3/8 Inch

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-56-5656 is a diamond hole saw designed for cutting through hard tile surfaces including porcelain, ceramic tile, and stone. With a 2-3/8 inch cutting diameter and a continuous diamond cutting edge, this saw delivers clean, controlled cuts without chipping or cracking brittle materials. The 1-1/2 inch cutting depth accommodates standard tile thicknesses and thin stone slabs. It is non-arbored and mounts directly to compatible power drill arbors. Tile setters, plumbers, and remodeling contractors use this saw when making fixture cutouts in finished surfaces where edge quality matters.

This diamond hole saw is used in residential and light commercial applications where holes must be cut through glazed porcelain, ceramic tile, or natural stone. Common install scenarios include toilet flange openings, faucet supply-line penetrations, drain penetrations in tiled shower pans, and fixture cutouts in stone countertops. The 2-3/8 inch diameter suits standard plumbing rough-in clearances. Compatible with power drills fitted with the appropriate arbor attachment.

Installation Notes

This saw is installed by tile setters, plumbers, and general contractors working on finished tile surfaces. Before cutting, mark the center point clearly and use a pilot dimple or tape to prevent the saw from wandering on glazed surfaces. Run the drill at a low to moderate speed with light, steady pressure and keep the cutting edge cool with water when cutting dense stone or thick porcelain. Avoid forcing the saw or running it dry on hard stone materials, as this will shorten diamond segment life.
