Product Description
Milwaukee 3-1/8 in. Recessed Light Hole Saw
Model Number: 49-56-0296
The Milwaukee 49-56-0296 is a 3-1/8 in. Recessed Light Hole Saw — precision-sized for cutting the standard opening required for 3 in. recessed light (can light) housing installation in drywall ceilings and walls. The 3-1/8 in. diameter provides the clearance needed for the 3 in. recessed light housing to pass through the drywall opening and seat correctly against the ceiling surface. Milwaukee engineers the tooth geometry for fast, clean drywall cutting — the tooth profile and set pattern optimize cutting action in gypsum board for rapid hole completion with non-splintered cut edges that result in professional appearance in finished ceilings.
The 3 in. recessed light format is used in residential and light commercial spaces where the smaller fixture size is preferred for lower ceiling heights, task lighting in tight spaces, and installations where larger 4 in. and 6 in. can lights are physically or aesthetically too large for the application. Electricians and lighting contractors who install multiple recessed light sizes benefit from having dedicated hole saws for each size — the correct-diameter dedicated saw provides faster, cleaner cuts than adjustable tools and ensures consistent housing fit across all openings on the project. Milwaukee's recessed light hole saw series covers the standard sizes used in residential and commercial construction for complete coverage. The hole saw mounts on a standard Milwaukee arbor for use with any corded or cordless drill.
