Milwaukee 49-59-1500 Hss Annular Cutter 1-1/2 in Sheet Metal

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-59-1500 is a high speed steel (HSS) annular cutter designed for fast, clean hole cutting in sheet metal and mild steel plate. Its thin-wall construction removes less material than standard twist drills, reducing cutting resistance and producing burr-free holes in a single pass. The advanced tooth geometry cuts and clears chips simultaneously, which extends cutter life and maintains hole quality over repeated use. With a 3/4-inch Weldon shank, this cutter mounts directly to most small magnetic drill presses or to larger units with an appropriate arbor. Weighing 0.36 pounds, it is easy to handle on the job site.

This cutter is suited for trade professionals including ironworkers, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance electricians who need precise holes in mild steel without secondary deburring. It is used in structural steel fabrication, sheet metal work, and field installation tasks where a magnetic drill press is the tool of choice. Typical applications include drilling bolt holes, conduit penetrations, and attachment points in flat or curved mild steel stock.

Key Features

Compatibility

Fits magnetic drill presses with a 3/4-inch Weldon shank arbor. Use with pilot pin 49-59-0011 as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using a magnetic drill press secured firmly to a clean, flat steel surface. Ensure the drill press magnet is fully energized and the workpiece is free of paint, scale, or debris at the contact area before cutting. Always use cutting fluid on the cutter to manage heat buildup and extend tool life. Disengage the magnetic base and power down the drill completely before changing cutters or inspecting the arbor.
