Milwaukee 49-59-2025 Hss Annular Cutter 2-1/4 in Sheet Metal

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-59-2025 is a high speed steel (HSS) annular cutter designed for fast, clean hole cutting in sheet metal and mild steel plate. Featuring a thin-wall construction and advanced tooth geometry, the cutter displaces less material than standard hole saws, producing burr-free holes with less effort per pass. The 3/4 inch Weldon shank makes it compatible with most small and large magnetic drill presses when used with the appropriate arbor. This cutter is sold individually and is intended for use by metalworkers, fabricators, and trade professionals who require precision holes in steel.

The 49-59-2025 is suited for mild steel applications including structural steel fabrication, HVAC ductwork framing, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. Its 2-1/4 inch cutting diameter covers a wide range of standard knockout and bolt-clearance hole sizes. The cutter works with pin part number 49-59-0011 for proper pilot support during drilling operations. It is designed for use with magnetic drill presses that accept a 3/4 inch Weldon shank, either directly or with the correct arbor adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworker or trades professional familiar with magnetic drill press operation. Secure the workpiece and verify the magnetic drill base is firmly engaged before beginning the cut. Ensure the pilot pin is properly seated before engaging the cutter to prevent walking at the start of the hole. Disengage power and allow the cutter to come to a full stop before removing it from the workpiece.
