Product Description
Milwaukee 3-1/2 in. Quick Adjust Copper Tubing Cutter
Model Number: 48-22-4254
The Milwaukee 48-22-4254 is a 3-1/2 in. Quick Adjust Copper Tubing Cutter — the largest-capacity standard tubing cutter in Milwaukee's lineup for cutting the largest copper, aluminum, and thin-wall steel tubing sizes encountered in commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical work. The 3-1/2 in. capacity handles the full range of large commercial copper piping — 2 in. OD, 2-1/2 in. OD, and 3 in. OD copper pipe used in commercial main lines, large HVAC refrigerant piping, and industrial mechanical systems where large-bore copper is the specified material. Milwaukee's Quick Adjust mechanism allows the jaws to be snapped from any position to another in a single motion without requiring many full rotations of a conventional feed screw to traverse the large adjustment range across these large-diameter tubing sizes — changing from 3/4 in. refrigeration line to 3 in. copper main in the same commercial mechanical job takes seconds rather than the extended feed screw adjustment that standard cutters require across this jaw opening span.
The Quick Adjust mechanism's practical advantage is most significant for mechanical contractors and plumbers who work with multiple large pipe sizes in the same installation and need the cutter to change quickly between sizes throughout the workday. The precision cutting wheel produces clean, square, minimal-deformation cut ends on large copper for proper solder, press, and groove fitting connections at these large diameters. An integrated reaming blade removes the interior burr created by the cutting wheel on the tube's inner diameter — at large tube diameters, this burr is more substantial and its removal is more important for proper fitting engagement than at smaller sizes. Milwaukee builds the cutter to the structural integrity needed for the higher cutting force required at the 3-1/2 in. capacity maximum.
