HIGH-PRECISION CARBIDE CUTTING FOR STAINLESS AND SHEET METAL
Engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking, the Milwaukee 2-5/8″ Carbide Tipped Sheet Metal Hole Cutter delivers drill-press quality precision in a hand-held application. Designed specifically for materials up to 3/16″ thick, this cutter utilizes high-grade carbide teeth to maintain a sharp edge far longer than standard bi-metal saws, especially when tackling abrasive materials like stainless steel or structural steel studs. The integrated 3/16″ depth stop is a critical mechanical safeguard, preventing over-penetration and protecting internal components when drilling into electrical boxes or finished panels.
- / Carbide-Tipped Teeth provide superior tool life and speed when cutting through stainless steel, brass, and aluminum.
- / 3/16″ Cutting Depth Limit ensures consistent holes while preventing the bit from plunging too deep into the workpiece.
- / Quick-Change Shank design allows for rapid transitions between sizes when used with the 49-57-0035 arbor.
- / Optimized Geometry produces burr-free, round holes that require minimal secondary finishing or deburring.
