Milwaukee Quick Change 1" Steel Plate Carbide Hole Cutter (1 PK)

PRECISION BORE PERFORMANCE IN HARDENED STEEL

High-performance metal fabrication requires more than just a standard hole saw; it demands the rigidity and heat resistance of carbide. This 1" Steel Plate Cutter is engineered to bridge the gap between portable drilling and stationary machining, delivering clean, burr-free holes in materials up to 3/8" thick during handheld operation. By utilizing carbide-tipped teeth, these cutters maintain their edge significantly longer than traditional HSS or bi-metal alternatives, ensuring a lower cost-per-hole and consistent diameters across high-volume repetitive tasks. When pushing through thicker stock up to 1/2", the mechanical advantage of a drill press combined with Hawg Wash® lubrication ensures thermal stability and extends the service life of the cutting geometry.

• / Carbide-Tipped Teeth: Engineered for maximum durability and superior edge retention when cutting through stainless steel and thick plate stock.
• / Drill Press Quality: Optimized geometry eliminates bit walking and provides smooth, precise holes even in handheld applications.
• / Quick-Change Shank: Features a stainless steel shank designed for seamless integration with the 49-57-0035 arbor for rapid tool swaps.
• / 1/2" Cutting Depth: Versatile capacity for structural steel, with specialized recommendations for drill press use beyond 3/8" thickness to maintain accuracy.
