Product Description
Milwaukee 5-3/8 in. Recessed Light Hole Saw
Model Number: 49-56-0303
The Milwaukee 49-56-0303 is a 5-3/8 in. Recessed Light Hole Saw — a precision-diameter hole saw for cutting the opening required for standard 5 in. recessed light (can light) housing installation in drywall ceilings and walls. The 5-3/8 in. diameter provides the clearance needed for the 5 in. recessed light housing to pass through the drywall opening and seat correctly against the ceiling surface — the slightly larger diameter versus the nominal 5 in. fixture size accommodates the housing body's actual dimensions for a clean, snug fit without forcing. Milwaukee engineers the tooth geometry for fast, clean drywall cutting — optimizing the tooth profile and set pattern for rapid hole completion with non-splintered cut edges that produce professional appearance in finished ceilings.
The 5 in. recessed light format is used where the 6 in. can light is too large for the ceiling height, lighting application, or aesthetic requirement, and the smaller 4 in. format doesn't provide adequate light output. Electricians and lighting contractors who install 5 in. recessed lights regularly benefit from having the dedicated hole saw for this size — the correct-diameter dedicated saw provides faster, cleaner cuts than adjustable tools and ensures consistent housing fit across all openings in the installation. Milwaukee's recessed light hole saw series covers the standard sizes used in residential and commercial construction. The hole saw mounts on a standard Milwaukee arbor for use with any corded or cordless drill.
