Milwaukee Release Nut
Model Number: 44-40-0016
The Milwaukee 44-40-0016 is a genuine OEM Release Nut for use in compatible Milwaukee grinders. The release nut is a quick-release style outer clamping nut that threads onto the grinder's arbor spindle to clamp grinding wheels and cutting discs — but is specifically designed to be loosened quickly by hand for faster wheel changes compared to a standard flange nut requiring a spanner wrench. The release nut integrates the clamping function with a design that allows the operator to loosen and remove it without tools, then re-tighten it to the correct clamping force by hand for the next wheel installation. A stripped, cracked, or cross-threaded release nut that cannot be correctly tightened or reliably clamped on the spindle requires replacement to ensure safe wheel retention.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM release nut ensures the correct thread specification, clamping face geometry, and release mechanism for the grinder spindle it serves. Always verify your catalog number and serial number on Milwaukee's website before ordering to confirm this is the correct nut for your specific unit.
