Question 1

What materials can the Milwaukee 49-57-8615 Carbide Hole Cutter cut?

Accepted Answer

The Milwaukee 49-57-8615 Carbide Hole Cutter is designed for use with stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, copper, sheet metal, and other metal materials. Its carbide-tipped cutting design is intended to provide smooth hole cutting performance in hard and medium metal applications when used with a compatible drill/driver

Question 2

What size hole does the Milwaukee 49-57-8615 create?

Accepted Answer

This one-piece carbide hole cutter creates a 1-1/8" diameter hole. It is designed for applications where a specific 1-1/8" opening is required in metal materials. The stop-shoulder design helps limit the cutting depth to 3/16", helping prevent the cutter from drilling deeper than its intended cutting depth.

Question 3

Can this carbide hole cutter be used with a drill/driver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Milwaukee 49-57-8615 features a 3/8" 3-flat shank that is optimized for use with drill/drivers. The secure-grip shank design helps provide a solid connection with the drill chuck during hole-cutting applications in materials such as stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and sheet metal.

Question 4

How does the spring-loaded pilot bit help during hole cutting?

Accepted Answer

The spring-loaded pilot bit is designed to support fast drilling and clean plug ejection after the hole is cut. This helps streamline the cutting process by assisting with positioning at the start of the application and clearing the material plug once the cutter has completed the hole.

Question 5

What prevents the Milwaukee 49-57-8615 from over-drilling?

Accepted Answer

The Milwaukee 49-57-8615 uses a stop-shoulder design that helps prevent over-drilling by limiting the cutter's depth to 3/16". This feature is useful when working on metal materials where controlling the cutting depth is important for completing consistent hole-cutting tasks.
