PRECISION METAL PENETRATION WITH CARBIDE DURABILITY

When punching through stainless steel or thick plate, standard bi-metal hole saws often burn out long before the job is finished. The Milwaukee 49-57-8209 Carbide Tipped Steel Plate Cutter is engineered to bridge the gap between portable convenience and industrial-grade precision. By utilizing high-grade carbide tipping, this cutter maintains its edge significantly longer than high-speed steel alternatives, ensuring a lower cost-per-hole for the professional. The geometry is optimized to deliver drill-press quality holes even when using a handheld drill, effectively neutralizing the walking and vibration that typically ruins finishes in heavy-duty metalworking applications.

• / Carbide-tipped teeth provide exceptional heat resistance and longevity in tough alloys and stainless steel compared to standard bi-metal.
• / Optimized for handheld operations in materials up to 3/8 inch, delivering clean, burr-free holes without the need for a stationary press.
• / Quick-change stainless steel shank integrates seamlessly with the 49-57-0035 arbor for rapid bit swaps and reduced downtime.
• / Versatile cutting depth up to 1/2 inch allows for heavy-gauge plate penetration when used with a drill press and proper lubrication.
