What's best for 1 1/2 thick buctherblock wood? Carbide or bi metal for 23/8 hole diameter... And does carbide leave a rough finish on wood ? Looking for smooth nice finish also..
Yes. In a different online comparison the Hole Dozer actually did pretty well in mild steel. (I was surprised.) But 1095 steel quickly showed that carbide is king for hard steel.
The big hawg is more likely for materials like brick or drywall for lasting longer. Hole dozer will always do cleaner cuts because of the density of teethes. So the hawg is for more rough materials where less precise hole doesn’t matter. Hole dozer for metals and wood clean cut.
Really disappointed in the whole hog! I thought it would have gone faster!! Sure looked like the Milwaukee did better and as I’m typing this there are all 3 videos lol
Should hsve put some nails in then see which one is better not sure why you would be cutting nails in s board but according to big hawk it cuts 1000 more nails😂
@4:00 {" a completely unscientific test"} Thats only true thing in this video, why didn't you do a real test in real wood like like 2x6s, in an out of position condition, NOT on a easy bench where you can push down and not on kiln dry lumber and or 3/4 plywood!!!........... I'm a DIYer and I dont know about anyone else but when it comes to doing something like drilling holes, I wont buy a HF or a no name brand drill and or especially drill accessories, I usually go with the best or close to............. Therefore I have 6- 2" holes to drill in over head in 2x8s with 1" boards on outside, so I bought the Milwaukee Hole Dozer, then tried to drill a hole, after 5-10 minutes I was lucky if I went a 1/2" deep, it appears after a few turns the teeth were clogging up which stops the drilling which stops me. IMO those hole-saws are worthless in real wood.......... So I did some looking around and see the Milwaukee Big Hawg, it says for fast drilling thorough wood with nails, well that sounds more like what I want, FAST.............
Came here for a comparison video and learned how to change the arbor/bit lol. Thanks
Damn what a set of gloves lol
Good job John!
Appreciate the comparison. That’d be particle board, not MDF. The big hawg certainly isn’t for cleaner cuts.
Great comparison, thank you sir!!

The Hole Dozer bimetal is recommended for metal. The Big Hawg is not for metal.

What blade edge last longer. If you get twice the life it’s the same thing. What’s worth your time

quick core hole saws are way better
3rd hole he's in reverse
It's started in reverse but you can hear and see in switch
