Milwaukee 49-59-2212 Hss Annular Cutter 2.125 in Sheet Metal

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-59-2212 is a high-speed steel (HSS) annular cutter designed for drilling clean, fast holes in sheet metal and mild steel plate. It features a thin-wall construction paired with an advanced tooth geometry that simultaneously cuts and clears material as it drills. The result is faster cycle times, reduced burring, and longer tool life compared to conventional hole cutters. The cutter ships with a 3/4-inch Weldon shank, making it compatible with most small magnetic drill presses and larger mag drills with the appropriate arbor. At 0.8 pounds, it is a manageable addition to any field or shop drill setup.

This annular cutter is intended for mild steel applications, including structural fabrication, electrical enclosure work, HVAC ductwork penetrations, and general metalworking. The thin-wall design displaces less material than standard twist drills or hole saws of the same diameter, which reduces heat buildup and minimizes burrs on the exit side. It is suited for use by ironworkers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians who require consistent, burr-free holes in ferrous sheet stock and plate steel. The ejector pin 49-59-0012 is recommended for use with this cutter to clear slugs cleanly.

Key Features

• Advanced tooth geometry cuts and removes material simultaneously for faster drilling
• Thin-wall construction displaces less material, reducing heat and burring
• 3/4-inch Weldon shank fits most small and large magnetic drill presses
• Produces burr-free holes in sheet metal and mild steel plate
• Compatible ejector pin: 49-59-0012

Compatibility

Designed for use with magnetic drill presses accepting a 3/4-inch Weldon shank. Larger magnetic drill presses require a compatible arbor. For slug ejection, use with ejector pin 49-59-0012.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with magnetic drill press equipment. Secure the workpiece and verify the magnetic drill base is fully engaged before starting the cut. Ensure the cutter and shank are clean and properly seated in the chuck before operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid on mild steel to extend tool life and improve hole quality.
