Milwaukee 1-3/8" Carbide Tipped Steel Plate Cutter 49-57-8223

INDUSTRIAL-GRADE CARBIDE PRECISION FOR HEAVY PLATE DRILLING

Engineered for high-torque handheld operations, the Milwaukee 1-3/8" Carbide Tipped Steel Plate Cutter bridges the gap between standard bi-metal hole saws and industrial drill presses. By utilizing precision-ground carbide teeth, this cutter maintains a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than high-speed steel alternatives, specifically when tackling abrasive materials like stainless steel. The geometry is optimized to deliver drill-press quality finishes even when used with a standard handheld drill, provided the material thickness is under 3/8". For thicker stock up to 1/2", the mechanical stability of a drill press is recommended to maximize the lifespan of the carbide tips. The integration of a stainless steel quick-change shank ensures that downtime is minimized during high-volume fabrication, allowing for rapid bit swaps without the need for specialized tools.

• / Carbide-tipped teeth provide superior heat resistance and edge retention in hardened steels.
• / 1/2" cutting depth capacity handles standard plate steel and structural components with ease.
• / Quick-change shank design integrates with the 49-57-0035 arbor for maximum jobsite efficiency.
• / Precision-ground cutting geometry produces clean, burr-free holes with minimal wandering.
