This last time I used it, it was extra dusty. I had some spare foam tape that i added to the lip and it greatly reduced the dust. Start slow so it gets is starting track in the cut or else it will stall and unravel the blades. The clips that hold the spring chamber broke when I pushed on it too much, but it still works.
This is an awesome, simple, and safe tool for cutting perfect holes without creating a huge mess. It also limits how deep you can cut preventing damage to pipe and wiring that are near the surface being cut.
How far does the drill bit extend beyond the blades? I have to cut a hole in drywall that has a PVC pipe right behind it for a bathroom light fixture. Thanks.
Hello from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. I had one of these back in the early 2000s it was used for audio Applications ceilings speakers were the order of the day. My one went up to 12 inch’s for bass ceiling speakers. I can’t find something that will do the same job.
I was putting mine together to see how it works I put the drill bit in and I did not put the cutters in and now I can’t pull it apart. It is all ready to use but the blades are not in. It is totally stuck, how do I pull it apart?
I'm looking to cut a 6" hole in my cargo van to fit a porthole window. Would you recommend an adjustable hole saw? or fixed hole saw? would they even be able to cut through sheet metal? Cheers.
I’m looking to cut a hole 8.75” in fiberglass for a subwoofer on a boat any do you know of a tool like this that can get me to the size hole I’m in need of??
Yes I think that would probably work. It may pull some of the cork apart. The best thing I could think of doing is sharpening the small knives on it for a cleaner cut.
Can this hole saw be adjusted to different sizes such as 4 1/4” or 6 3/8” or just 2”, 3”, 4”...7” only. Oh wait, just saw the packaging which stated 1/4” increments. Thanks for sharing.
TheDurbinCompound I wish it were that simple. The blades are literally ground down almost an inch shorter than they were new! They didn’t just dull. Anyway, going to see if it can be returned tomorrow - if not, I’ll be contacting Milwaukee. No tool should require as much maintenance as this would.
2:40 shit goes flying and he keeps going only like nothing happened... LOL I subscribed for this reason and the fact that the review was good as well And then you said that things made in China are better than anywhere else... dude wtf?
We gotta get off the made in China sucks BS. If this was made here, it would cost $250. We use China to do stuff that we don’t want. And they do it well.
@@91326 No, we really don't need to get off the China sucks BS. They are a communist country that enslave their people and try to rape the American markets with outrageous tariffs. Have since at least the year 2000 when I learned of it. People will spend $200 on shitty air Jordan shoes but not spend the extra money for American quality? Sounds backwards to me.
@@Jordaneal you just said he said in the video that it won’t work on plaster and now you’re saying its assumed it won’t work? Bro it’s okay to admit to being wrong
@@Est91. Says the guy who can't spell "through". LOL give it up. And yes, when someone says it a product is used for A or B it is assumed they mean the product is not intended for C (plaster).
I’ve use this all the time. I’ve never had a problem with it. Used it last night with no issue. Just need to have reasonable expectations of what it is designed for and use it according.
Very informative and thanks for clarifying what it can be used on - appreciate the info and keep up the great work - thanks.

Great demo!!

Agreed! Super easy to use!
Cool tool! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

can I use it with impact driver?
Would this work on a rainharvest tank?

Is 7 inch hole max cus I need 12 Inc for speakers
great video here is another way
I'm looking to cut a 6" hole in my cargo van to fit a porthole window. Would you recommend an adjustable hole saw? or fixed hole saw? would they even be able to cut through sheet metal? Cheers.
No. These do not cut through anything but plaster and gypsum based products.
@@TheDurbinCompound ah I'm probably better off with a jigsaw then. Cheers :P
I’m looking to cut a hole 8.75” in fiberglass for a subwoofer on a boat any do you know of a tool like this that can get me to the size hole I’m in need of??
I would use a jigsaw at that point
Will this work for thin aluminum sheet metal?
No it will not. These cutters dull out in wood
think it will drill about 30 holes before dulling out?
In drywall and ceiling tiles. Yes.
Can you use this on a pre existing hole to make a hole bigger?
No, it will not work in that application. You can however mount a piece of wood in your current hole to start the drill bit into.
Think it would work with fiberglass?
I wouldn’t think so.
Do you know if this could be used to cut circles from a thin layer or cork?
Yes I think that would probably work. It may pull some of the cork apart. The best thing I could think of doing is sharpening the small knives on it for a cleaner cut.
Had bad luck with this tool, blades dulled after 3 holes in drywall ceiling
Can it be used to expand an existing hole? For example converting a hanging light to a can light.
Can this hole saw be adjusted to different sizes such as 4 1/4” or 6 3/8” or just 2”, 3”, 4”...7” only.
Oh wait, just saw the packaging which stated 1/4” increments. Thanks for sharing.
Was just about to answer you! Glad you got it figured out
how well does it cut compressed wood?
6:14
interesting....i never knew milwaukee made this...but next time can you show a close up of the tool ?
Yeah it’s a pretty sweet offering from them. I was impressed!
2:42 no f*cks given. Lmao
does this work on blaster?
Do not recommend for plaster
A 6 inch hole saw in Australia would set you back well over $150 bucks.... fml
No..
Do you have a link to where you bought it?
2 in. to 7 in. Adjustable Hole Saw Cutter
www.homedepot.com/p/205744284
Out the box it's not sharp.
I tried using it on 5/8 drywall and it struggled.
Can it cut through mdf
No
Can u cut 1/4 plywood
Nope, only drywall or ceiling tile. No plaster or plywood
Will it work with plywood
Nope. Not a chance. Has to be ceiling tile or gypsum board
Can it cut metal
No
I’m heading to Home Depot 😅
It's too bad this won't work with plaster walls 😫
Cut 4 holes in my ceiling and the blades are already flat, and catches on the edges causing tear out. .
Wow, I had great luck with the tool! You should be able to sharpen them fairly simply
TheDurbinCompound I wish it were that simple. The blades are literally ground down almost an inch shorter than they were new! They didn’t just dull. Anyway, going to see if it can be returned tomorrow - if not, I’ll be contacting Milwaukee. No tool should require as much maintenance as this would.
carguy1312 agreed! Oh goodness. Are you just cutting drywall?
@@TheDurbinCompound lol, sounds like he is trying to cut plaster (lathe & plaster)
What about enlarging doorknob holes
Not possible, this is for drywall and ceiling tiles only
4 years later.. theyre short of $50 now. Still id take an adjustable over buying a dozen different hole dozers
Still worth it than spending 140 for a kit
I get really mad when people lie to my face but in your case I`ll let it slide cause you owned up to it.
😂🤣😂 i don’t even remember what I said in this one!
@@TheDurbinCompound you will laugh if you play the first minute.
@@Peter-976 yep! I sure did say that didn’t I!
I just bought one and it broke the same day not worth it
Glad it never hit u in your face

I don’t know where I said that! Sometimes I just spew words out. Hahahaha
@@TheDurbinCompound 7:12 about China, lol
This thing is trash, started ripping my ceiling tile, it doesn't cut clean at all.
Possible user error?
Made better in China than in the US?? Wow.

32$ now at my Home Depot!
Mines cost 40+
This will only work with Sheetrock, don’t purchase this if your going thru plaster
You didn’t watch the video all the way through because he says that at the end.
@@Jordaneal he never said plaster, listen again
@@Est91. He said what it is used for, and everything else is assumed that it will not work. NO U LISTEN lol

This thing makes a mess. It’s totally not contained. Your demonstration should add mud and paint. It’s gets everywhere.
i just read the amazon comments and they are rubbish

Okay. One thumbs down just for you buddy😁😁
