Milwaukee 49-56-9820 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes do the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty bi-metal hole saws come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two diameters: 1-1/8 inch, part number 49-56-9820, and 1-3/8 inch, part number 49-56-9830. Order by the diameter you need to cut, since each saw is a single fixed cutting size.
2) How deep can the Milwaukee 49-56-9820 hole saw cut, and will it get through a 2x4?
The saw body measures 2.5 inches in overall length, so usable cutting depth is less than that once the arbor and pilot bit are accounted for. That handles single-thickness lumber, plywood, subfloor and plastic in one pass, but it will not clear the 3-1/2 inch width of a 2x4 in a single plunge. For a through-hole in a stud width, cut from both faces or use a dedicated deeper saw.
3) Does the Milwaukee 49-56-9830 hole saw come with an arbor and pilot bit?
The 49-56-9830 is the hole saw cup only. A compatible arbor with pilot drill is required to mount it in a drill or impact driver and is ordered separately, so check what you already have on the truck before buying.
4) Can I run these Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE hole saws in an impact driver instead of a drill?
Yes, that is the point of the SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty rating. The bi-metal blade and tooth geometry are built to take the hammering stress of impact-driven use rather than just rotary drilling, so you can run it off the impact driver already on your belt.
5) Will a bi-metal impact duty hole saw cut metal studs and electrical enclosures, or do I need a carbide saw?
Bi-metal handles wood, plastic and thin-gauge metal, which covers steel studs, enclosure knockouts and sheet metal pass-throughs. It is not the tool for masonry, tile, brick or cast iron, and for heavy stainless or abrasive board you want a carbide-tipped saw instead.
6) Which Milwaukee hole saw size do I use for 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch conduit through a stud?
Pick the diameter against your conduit outside diameter plus clearance: the 1-1/8 inch (49-56-9820) suits smaller single runs, and the 1-3/8 inch (49-56-9830) gives extra room for pulling and for larger trade sizes. Both are sold for electrical box and conduit penetration work, plus plumbing and HVAC rough-in.
7) Is it hard to knock the plug out of these Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE hole saws?
The thin wall profile reduces material packing inside the cup, which makes the slug easier to pop out between cuts. That matters on repetitive work like a run of box holes, where plug removal is most of the lost time.
8) Why would I choose an 8-tooth constant pitch hole saw over a variable pitch one?
The constant pitch, 8-tooth pattern keeps tooth engagement even across the cutting edge, which lowers vibration and leaves cleaner hole walls, and the coarse 8-tooth count clears chips fast in wood and plastic. If you are cutting mostly thin sheet metal all day, a finer tooth count is gentler on the edge; for mixed wood, plastic and thin-gauge metal this geometry is the general-purpose choice.
