Product Description
Milwaukee 6-7/8 in. Recessed Light Hole Saw
Model Number: 49-56-0315
The Milwaukee 49-56-0315 is a 6-7/8 in. Recessed Light Hole Saw — a precision-diameter hole saw sized specifically for cutting the standard 6 in. recessed light (can light) opening in thicker ceiling materials including plaster over lath, double-layer drywall, and specialty ceiling board where the slightly larger 6-7/8 in. diameter provides the clearance needed for the recessed light housing to pass through and seat correctly. Milwaukee offers the 6-7/8 in. specification alongside the standard 6-5/8 in. recessed light hole saw to address the variation in ceiling construction encountered in renovation and retrofit work — older plaster ceilings, commercial ceiling tile systems, and two-layer drywall installations sometimes require the larger 6-7/8 in. opening for the housing to fit through cleanly, depending on the specific recessed light housing being installed and the ceiling construction depth.
Electricians and lighting contractors performing renovations in older construction or commercial environments regularly encounter situations where the standard 6-5/8 in. hole is too tight for the housing being installed — the 6-7/8 in. version addresses these applications without requiring the contractor to cut oversized holes with adjustable tools or make multiple passes. Milwaukee's recessed light hole saw tooth geometry is optimized for fast, clean drywall, plaster, and ceiling board cutting for rapid hole completion with clean, non-splintered cut edges. The hole saw mounts on a standard Milwaukee arbor for use with any corded or cordless drill.
