Product Description
Milwaukee Left Shear Blade for 18 Gauge Shear
Model Number: 48-44-0161
The Milwaukee 48-44-0161 is the Left replacement Shear Blade for Milwaukee 18 gauge electric shear models 6850-20 and 6852-20 — the lower left blade of the scissor-action shear head that pairs with the upper right blade to shear sheet metal cleanly at the cutting line. The shear blade pair works in opposition to produce the straight, deformation-free cuts that distinguish electric shear cutting from abrasive cutting and nibbler cutting methods — as the upper blade drives down against the sheet metal surface, the lower left blade provides the opposing cutting edge that completes the shear at the correct overlap for clean, flat-edged cuts without burr and without the corrugated channel or spark-generating heat that other cutting methods produce. When the shear blades dull from production sheet metal cutting use, cut quality degrades with more force required and less clean cut edges — replacing the blades at this service point restores the shear to full cutting performance.
Milwaukee recommends replacing both the left and right shear blades simultaneously to restore the designed blade overlap geometry and cutting edge symmetry — replacing only one blade leaves the other in a worn state that changes the blade-to-blade clearance and overlap from the designed specification. The 48-44-0161 left blade is sold separately for individual blade replacement or for stocking one side separately — see the right blade (48-44-0171) for the companion blade to complete a full blade set replacement.
