Milwaukee 1-7/16" Carbide Tipped Steel Plate Cutter 49-57-8225

DRILL PRESS PRECISION FOR HEAVY-DUTY FIELD METALWORKING

When you are punching through 3/8-inch steel plate in the field, standard bi-metal hole saws simply cannot match the efficiency or longevity of carbide. The Milwaukee 49-57-8225 Carbide Tipped Steel Plate Cutter is engineered to bridge the gap between shop-floor precision and jobsite portability. By utilizing high-grade carbide tips, this cutter maintains its edge significantly longer than high-speed steel (HSS) alternatives, delivering clean, burr-free holes that typically require a stationary drill press. The mechanical geometry of these teeth ensures minimal vibration and a high material removal rate, maximizing the professional ROI by reducing the cost-per-hole in demanding metalworking applications.

• / Carbide-tipped teeth provide superior heat resistance and edge retention compared to bi-metal or high-speed steel hole saws.
• / Optimized for handheld operations in materials up to 3/8-inch thick, providing drill-press quality results without the bench.
• / 1/2-inch cutting depth capacity allows for versatile applications in thick plate and structural steel components.
• / Designed for seamless integration with the 49-57-0035 quick-change arbor to minimize downtime during bit swaps.
