Milwaukee Moving Blade Fitted Bolt
Model Number: 42-32-0500
The Milwaukee 42-32-0500 is a genuine OEM Moving Blade Fitted Bolt for the 2472-20 M12 600 MCM Cable Cutter. This cutter uses a powered scissor-style cutting action, driving a moving blade against a stationary blade to shear through copper cable up to 600 MCM and aluminum cable up to 750 MCM in a single clean, installation-ready cut. The fitted bolt is what secures the moving blade to its pivot in the cutting head. Unlike an ordinary fastener, a fitted bolt is precision-ground so its shank diameter closely matches the mounting hole, which locates the blade exactly rather than allowing it to shift under the very high loads generated when cutting large-gauge cable. That precise location is what keeps the moving blade and the stationary blade in correct shear alignment through the cut. Any play at this pivot translates directly into a poor, crushed, or incomplete cut rather than the flat, round, installation-ready finish the tool is designed to produce, along with accelerated blade wear and, in the worst case, a blade that works loose in service. Because the bolt carries the full cutting load on every stroke, it is a wear item and should be inspected and replaced whenever the blade is serviced.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This bolt is documented at position A-33 on the 2472-20 service parts diagram, with a quantity of one required per tool. Take care not to confuse this bolt with its companion on the same tool: the Stationary Blade Fixed Bolt at position A-35 is a separate part ordered as 42-32-0525. When servicing the cutting head it is common to replace the blade and both bolts together so the head goes back together with fresh, correctly located hardware. The moving and stationary blades themselves are not included with this bolt and are supplied as the blade set under part number 48-44-0410, and the plate washer at position A-37 is ordered separately as 45-88-8210.
