Product Description
Milwaukee 1 in. Close Quarters Tubing Cutter
Model Number: 48-22-4262
The Milwaukee 48-22-4262 is a 1 in. Close Quarters Tubing Cutter — a specialty tubing cutter with a dramatically reduced tool body profile designed for cutting copper, aluminum, and thin-wall steel tubing in the most confined installation spaces where even the compact mini tubing cutter cannot fit or rotate around the tube. The Close Quarters design achieves its minimal profile by relocating the feed mechanism and cutter wheel in a configuration that requires far less clearance around the tube than any standard or mini cutter design — allowing cuts to be completed in spaces directly against walls, under cabinet bases, between floor joists, and in other positions where the available space around the tube is millimeters rather than the clearance inches that standard and mini cutters need for operation. The 1 in. capacity covers the residential and light commercial copper tubing range from the smallest supply line dimensions through the 3/4 in. OD main supply run sizes commonly worked in plumbing and HVAC service.
Professional plumbing and HVAC service technicians encounter close-quarters cutting requirements regularly in service and repair work — cutting copper supply lines directly against floor plates, in under-sink cabinet spaces too tight for even compact tubing cutters, and in the mechanical spaces of equipment where replacement of damaged tubing sections requires cutting in the extremely confined access provided by adjacent structure and equipment. The Milwaukee Close Quarters Cutter's precision cutting wheel produces the clean, square cuts needed for quality solder, press, and compression fitting connections without additional tube preparation beyond the standard reaming pass. An integrated reaming blade removes the interior burr created during cutting for fitting-ready tube ends without a separate deburring tool.
