Milwaukee M12 FUEL 1/2 in. Bandfile Contact Wheel Replacement
Model Number: 49-16-2482
The Milwaukee 49-16-2482 is a replacement 1/2 in. Contact Wheel for the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Bandfile — the small wheel at the working tip of the bandfile around which the abrasive belt wraps to define the contact radius for grinding, deburring, and finishing metal surfaces. The contact wheel's diameter and profile determine the shape of the cutting surface at the tip — a smaller diameter contact wheel produces a more aggressive, concentrated grinding contact for the tight radii of weld fillets, tube notches, and inside curves, while the wheel's condition directly affects the surface finish quality of the grinding work. When the contact wheel wears, becomes damaged, or loses its shape, the belt no longer tracks and contacts the work surface correctly, degrading grinding performance and finish quality.
The 1/2 in. specification indicates the belt width this contact wheel is designed for — the wheel width must match the belt width for correct belt tracking across the full wheel face. Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM contact wheel ensures the correct diameter, profile, and material for the M12 FUEL Bandfile model. Verify your specific M12 FUEL Bandfile model and serial number at milwaukeetool.com before ordering. The 3/8 in. version (49-16-2483) is available for the narrower belt configuration.
