Product Description
Milwaukee Quick Change 1-7/32 in. Carbide Hole Cutter
Model Number: 49-57-8317
The Milwaukee 49-57-8317 is a Quick Change 1-7/32 in. Carbide Hole Cutter, sold as a single cutter, built to produce clean, fine holes in sheet metal, stainless steel, and structural steel studs. Its carbide-tipped teeth are the key: carbide stays sharper far longer than high speed steel or bi-metal hole saws in hard metals, delivering smoother cuts and longer life when cutting stainless and structural steel. The cutter has four carbide teeth and a 3/16 in. maximum cutting depth, sizing it for cutting through material up to 3/16 in. thick, and at 1-7/32 in. diameter it produces that specific hole size for conduit, fittings, and hardware pass-throughs. This is the quick-change style cutter, designed to snap into a Milwaukee quick-change arbor for fast, tool-free cutter changes when working across multiple hole sizes.
It is important to understand what this cutter needs to run. This is a quick-change cutter, and the quick-change arbor is not included; it uses the Milwaukee quick-change arbor, part number 49-57-0035, which is sold separately and holds the cutter and carries the spring-loaded pilot bit. The pilot bit centers the cut and provides complete plug ejection for clean, efficient holes, and it fits a 3/8 in. shank arbor. If you already run the Milwaukee quick-change hole cutter system, this cutter drops into your existing arbor; if you do not, you will need the 49-57-0035 arbor to use it. This quick-change format is what makes it efficient for a tradesperson cutting a range of hole sizes, since the cutters swap on and off the one arbor quickly.
This carbide hole cutter is a practical accessory for electricians, HVAC and sheet metal technicians, and metal fabricators who cut holes in sheet metal, stainless, and steel studs and want the longer life and cleaner cuts of carbide over bi-metal. Use it with cutting lubricant such as Milwaukee Hawg Wash fluid for the cleanest cuts and longest cutter life when cutting metal. For anyone building out the Milwaukee quick-change carbide hole cutter system, the 1-7/32 in. size fills that specific hole diameter in the lineup.
