DRILL PRESS PRECISION FOR HEAVY-DUTY METAL FABRICATION

When your job involves boring through 3/8-inch steel plate, standard bi-metal hole saws simply won't cut it. The Milwaukee 49-57-8213 is engineered with high-grade carbide tips that maintain a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than high-speed steel, ensuring a lower cost-per-hole for the professional. This cutter is purpose-built to deliver clean, burr-free holes that usually require a stationary drill press, yet it is optimized for the torque and speed of handheld drills. By utilizing a stainless steel quick-change shank, you can swap sizes in seconds without fumbling with set screws, maximizing your uptime on the shop floor or the jobsite. For maximum longevity when pushing through 1/4-inch or thicker material, always pair with Hawg Wash cutting fluid to manage thermal load and protect the carbide geometry.

• / Carbide-tipped teeth provide superior heat resistance and extended tool life compared to standard bi-metal or HSS hole saws.
• / Optimized geometry produces drill press quality holes in handheld operations for materials up to 3/8" thick.
• / 1/2" cutting depth capacity allows for through-holes in heavy-gauge structural steel, plate, and stainless steel.
• / Stainless steel quick-change shank integrates seamlessly with the 49-57-0035 arbor for rapid, tool-free bit swaps.
