Product Description
Milwaukee 1-7/8 in. Steel Hawg Cutter — Quick Change Tang Drive
Model Number: 49-57-1877
The Milwaukee 49-57-1877 is a 1-7/8 in. Steel Hawg Cutter in the Quick Change Tang Drive format — a Milwaukee Steel Hawg cutting tool for use with Milwaukee magnetic drill presses equipped with tang drive arbors for cutting large, precise holes through structural steel, plate steel, and fabricated metal assemblies. The Quick Change Tang Drive interface allows the Steel Hawg to be installed and removed from the magnetic drill arbor with a simple axial engagement and locking mechanism — dramatically faster cutter changes than threaded connections, which is a meaningful productivity advantage in production structural steel work where multiple hole sizes are drilled in sequence and cutter change time accumulates across a project scope. The 1-7/8 in. diameter provides a large bore for major structural bolt clearance holes, large connection hardware access, pipe and conduit penetrations through structural steel, and fabrication holes in heavy steel sections where this specific bore is required.
The Steel Hawg cutting geometry removes material from the hole perimeter, leaving the center plug intact until ejected — requiring less cutting force per unit of hole area than solid hole-making methods at this large diameter, which allows the magnetic drill to cut these large holes in structural steel efficiently. Applying Milwaukee Hawg Wash cutting lubricant throughout each hole significantly extends Steel Hawg service life compared to dry cutting by cooling the cutting edges and lubricating the chip-steel interface. Milwaukee manufactures the Steel Hawg from quality materials with the cutting geometry and heat treatment needed for productive structural steel cutting in magnetic drill applications.
