Milwaukee 16 Gauge Punch
Model Number: 48-44-0260
The Milwaukee 48-44-0260 is a genuine OEM 16 Gauge Punch replacement for compatible Milwaukee sheet metal punch tools — a precision-machined cutting punch die for punching clean, dimensionally accurate holes through 16 gauge sheet metal in electrical knockout, conduit entry, and sheet metal fabrication applications. The punch die is the cutting component in the punch-and-die set that shears the material cleanly by pressing the punch through the sheet metal into the matching die opening — the punch must be precisely sized relative to the die opening to produce clean, burr-free holes without the tearing, deformation, or hole-size variation that occurs when worn or non-OEM punches are used with the die they do not match dimensionally. When a punch becomes dull from extended use, chips from hard material contact, or is deformed from working outside its rated gauge range, it must be replaced to restore the clean, accurate hole quality that electrical knockouts and conduit entries require.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM punch ensures the correct punch diameter, cutting edge geometry, and material hardness for the specific Milwaukee punch tool and die set it is matched to — non-OEM punches with incorrect dimensions produce holes that are undersized, oversized, or ragged depending on the dimensional error. Punch specifications are unique to each Milwaukee punch tool model and punch size — the punch diameter must match the die opening to within the correct clearance specification for clean shearing. Always verify your specific Milwaukee punch tool model and the punch size at milwaukeetool.com before ordering replacement punch components.
