Product Description
Milwaukee 3/4 in. Close Quarters Tubing Cutter
Model Number: 48-22-4261
The Milwaukee 48-22-4261 is a 3/4 in. Close Quarters Tubing Cutter — a specialty compact tubing cutter engineered for cutting copper, aluminum, and thin-wall steel tubing in the most confined access conditions where standard and mini tubing cutters cannot fit or rotate around the tube. The Close Quarters design achieves its minimal clearance profile through a repositioned cutting mechanism that requires far less space around the tube than any standard design — allowing cuts to be completed directly against walls, at floor level under base plates, in under-sink cabinet spaces, and in the confined mechanical spaces of equipment where even compact mini cutters cannot complete a full rotation around the tube. The 3/4 in. capacity covers 1/2 in. OD through 5/8 in. OD copper supply line tubing used in the most common residential plumbing and HVAC service applications where close-quarters access is most frequently required.
The precision cutting wheel produces the clean, square, minimal-deformation cut ends needed for quality solder, press, and compression fitting connections without additional tube preparation beyond a standard reaming pass. An integrated reaming blade removes the interior burr for fitting-ready tube ends immediately after cutting without requiring a separate deburring tool — a practical convenience in the tight spaces where the close quarters cutter is most used, where reaching in with a separate reamer would be as difficult as the initial cut. Milwaukee builds the close quarters cutter to the same quality standards as its standard tubing cutters to ensure the cut quality that professional plumbing and HVAC service requires throughout the tool's service life.
See Milwaukee's complete tubing cutter lineup for larger-capacity close quarters cutters and for standard, mini, and ratcheting designs for all access conditions.
