Milwaukee 49-59-2225 Hss Annular Cutter 2.25 in Sheet Metal

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-59-2225 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 cuts and evacuates material simultaneously, reducing cycle time and extending cutter life. The 2.25-inch cutting diameter and 3.386-inch flute length make it suited for through-holes in a wide range of material thicknesses. A 3/4-inch Weldon shank provides compatibility with most small and large magnetic drill presses. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators performing structural and sheet metal work are the primary installers.

This annular cutter is intended for mild steel applications, including sheet metal fabrication, structural steel work, and site drilling with a magnetic drill press. Its thin-wall design displaces less material than conventional twist drills of the same diameter, resulting in burr-free holes without secondary deburring in most setups. It is sold individually and accepts a pilot pin for centered starting cuts.

Key Features

• Advanced tooth geometry cuts and clears chips during drilling for faster hole completion
• Thin-wall construction removes less material, reducing heat buildup and extending tool life
• 3/4-inch Weldon shank fits most small magnetic drill presses and large magnetic drill presses with the correct arbor
• Compatible with pilot pin 49-59-0012 for accurate hole placement
• Produces burr-free holes in mild steel and sheet metal without secondary finishing

Compatibility

Designed for use with magnetic drill presses equipped with a 3/4-inch Weldon shank arbor. Use with pilot pin 49-59-0012. Suitable for mild steel applications including sheet metal and plate steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworkers and licensed tradespeople using a magnetic drill press. Secure the workpiece and verify the magnetic base has full, stable contact before drilling. Disengage power and allow the cutter to come to a complete stop before changing cutters or removing the pilot pin. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and manufacturer guidance for cutting speeds and lubrication when drilling thick plate.
