Questions & Answers
#2460-20 VS #2525-20 Which one has higher power?
The M12™ Brushless Rotary Tool (2525-20) has higher usable power and performance than the M12™ Rotary Tool (2460-20).
what is the part number for the cutting wheels????????
The 1-1/2" Reinforced Cut-Off Wheels are model #49-94-1500.
Will this tool work in a Dremel drill press?
Yes, the threading and dimensions are about the same, the larger batteries can get in the way, works fine with the smaller batteries
Does a Dremel mandrel fit on the Milwaukee?
Yes. The Milwaukee M12™ Rotary Tool uses a 1/8" collet and is compatible with all standard rotary tool accessories that have shank sizes between 1/32" and 1/8". This includes most Dremel mandrels and accessories, as they typically fall within that range.
Would this tool be good for cutting wood for crafts? if not, what tool would be best?
First OMT I received did not have the bolt or adapter. I did an exchange, but still not adapter in box. A universal adapter is definitely needed for other accessories. The website product description (and the manual) states it is included. Where is it??!!
Hi, Eric. Can you please message us at Social.Media@MilwaukeeTool.com, so we can take a look and assist you?
Can this be used like a rotozip and does the rotozip bit fit on this?
Hey, Christian. Yes, the Milwaukee M12 12V Lithium-Ion Cordless Rotary Tool can be used similarly to a RotoZip for various cutting, grinding, sanding, and polishing applications. The tool features a powerful motor that delivers 5,000-32,000 RPM, making it suitable for tasks typically performed by a RotoZip. Regarding compatibility with RotoZip bits, the M12 Rotary Tool includes a 1/8" collet and is compatible with standard collet sizes of 1/32", 1/16", and 3/32" (sold separately). If the RotoZip bits fit within these collet sizes, they can be used with the M12 Rotary Tool.
Does the cutting blade that comes with this tool need an adapter? The instructions are very unclear. The diagram of the tool shows an adapter but there is no such thing on the tool.
Hey Austin! No, this tool does not need an adaptor.
