Milwaukee 49-59-2018 Hss Annular Cutter 2 3/16 in Sheet Metal

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-59-2018 is a high speed steel (HSS) annular cutter engineered for fast, clean hole-cutting in mild steel and sheet metal applications. Its thin-wall construction displaces less material than standard cutters, reducing cycle time and leaving burr-free holes without secondary deburring. The advanced tooth geometry cuts and clears chips simultaneously during drilling, extending cutter life and maintaining consistent hole quality. The 3/4 inch Weldon shank is compatible with most small and large magnetic drill presses when paired with the appropriate arbor. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors as well as fabricators and ironworkers will find this cutter a reliable production tool.

This annular cutter is suited for mild steel and sheet metal work on commercial and residential job sites, in fabrication shops, and in the field where magnetic drill press access is available. It produces clean through-holes in material ranging from light-gauge sheet metal up to thick plate steel, making it applicable for panel penetrations, strut work, conduit knock-outs, and structural steel fabrication tasks.

Key Features

• Advanced tooth geometry cuts and cleans material simultaneously during drilling for faster cycle times
• Thin-wall design removes less material per hole, increasing speed and reducing heat buildup
• Burr-free hole finish reduces or eliminates secondary deburring steps
• 3/4 inch Weldon shank fits most small and large magnetic drill presses with correct arbor
• Rated for mild steel and sheet metal applications
• Compatible with pilot pin 49-59-0011 for accurate hole placement

Compatibility

Designed for use with most small magnetic drill presses and large magnetic drill presses equipped with the correct 3/4 inch Weldon shank arbor. Use with pilot pin 49-59-0011.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with magnetic drill press operation and metal cutting practices. Secure the magnetic drill press base firmly to the workpiece before starting the cut and confirm the pilot pin is properly seated. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting metal. Inspect the cutter for wear or chipped teeth before each use and replace when cutting performance degrades.
