Milwaukee 49-56-0012 5/8" HOLE DOZER Bi-Metal Hole Saw with Ice-Hardened Teeth

The Milwaukee 49-56-0012 5/8" HOLE DOZER Bi-Metal Hole Saw is engineered to deliver fast, clean, and consistent hole-cutting performance across a range of jobsite materials. As part of Milwaukee's HOLE DOZER lineup, this 5/8" hole saw combines rugged bi-metal construction with ice-hardened teeth, giving contractors and tradespeople a compact-diameter cutting solution built to hold an edge through repeated use. Whether it's being used for electrical, plumbing, or general construction tasks, the 49-56-0012 is designed to help professionals cut precise, repeatable holes without sacrificing durability. The 5/8" sizing makes it a practical choice when a smaller-diameter bore is required as part of a larger hole saw kit or as a standalone application on the jobsite.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 5/8" diameter is purpose-built for smaller-diameter hole-cutting applications where precision matters.
  • Bi-Metal Construction: The bi-metal body and tooth design combine strength and flexibility, helping the saw resist breakage and deformation during heavy use.
  • Ice-Hardened Teeth: Milwaukee's ice-hardening process strengthens the cutting teeth, helping the hole saw hold a sharp edge longer and resist premature wear compared to standard hole saws.
  • HOLE DOZER Series: This hole saw is part of Milwaukee's HOLE DOZER family, a line built specifically for durability and consistent performance on demanding jobsites.
  • Compact, Purpose-Built Diameter: The 5/8" size is well suited for smaller bore requirements, complementing larger-diameter hole saws in a multi-size kit.
  • Milwaukee Reliability: Backed by Milwaukee's reputation for professional-grade tool accessories built to perform under repeated daily use.

  • Jobsite Tasks Requiring a Compact-Diameter Hole Saw

Why Milwaukee?

Milwaukee designed the HOLE DOZER line to give professionals a dependable, long-lasting hole-cutting solution, combining bi-metal construction with an ice-hardening process on the cutting teeth. The 49-56-0012 5/8" hole saw carries that same engineering into a compact-diameter option, making it a practical addition to any hole saw kit or standalone tool bag. For tradespeople who need consistent, repeatable cuts without constantly replacing worn-out accessories, Milwaukee's HOLE DOZER bi-metal hole saws are built to keep pace with demanding jobsite schedules.

Milwaukee 49-56-0012 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Milwaukee HOLE DOZER bi-metal hole saw come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two diameters: 5/8 inch, ordered as Milwaukee 49-56-0012, and 1-7/16 inch, ordered as 49-56-0077. Both are bi-metal HOLE DOZER saws with ice-hardened teeth. Order by the part number rather than the size alone, since the diameter is the only difference between them.
2) Can the Milwaukee 49-56-0012 hole saw cut metal, or is it wood only?
It cuts both. The bi-metal body and ice-hardened teeth are made for wood, wood composites and engineered lumber as well as thin-gauge metal and plastic. Typical uses are electrical box and conduit rough-in, plumbing pass-throughs, and general remodel work. For thick structural steel or masonry you want a different cutter type, not a bi-metal hole saw.
3) Does the Milwaukee HOLE DOZER hole saw include an arbor and pilot bit?
The 49-56-0012 and 49-56-0077 are sold as the hole saw cup only. You need a compatible hole saw arbor with a pilot drill bit to run either one in a drill. If you are buying several HOLE DOZER sizes, one arbor that fits the range covers them all.
4) Which HOLE DOZER size should I use for a 1/2 inch EMT connector knockout versus a larger conduit run?
For small-diameter bores on electrical rough-in, the 5/8 inch 49-56-0012 is the compact option. Step up to the 1-7/16 inch 49-56-0077 when you need a wider pass-through for plumbing or larger conduit. Both are listed for electrical box and conduit rough-in work and plumbing pipe pass-throughs.
5) What is the difference between a bi-metal hole saw and a carbide-tooth one for daily jobsite use?
Bi-metal, which is what the HOLE DOZER 49-56-0012 is, pairs a flexible backing with hardened cutting teeth so the cup resists breakage and deformation under heavy use, and Milwaukee's ice-hardening process on the teeth helps it hold an edge through repeated cuts. It is the general-purpose choice for wood, composites, thin metal and plastic. Carbide-tooth saws are the pick when you are into abrasive or harder materials where bi-metal teeth would dull quickly.
6) Will the Milwaukee 49-56-0012 work with hole saws I already own from a mixed kit?
Yes, as a replacement cup. The 5/8 inch 49-56-0012 is sized to drop into a multi-size hole saw kit alongside larger diameters, so if you have burned out the small saw in your set you can replace just that size instead of the whole kit. It runs on a standard hole saw arbor.
