Questions & Answers

Would this be able to cut through luan 1/8" (3mm) luan?
ByJul 21, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes — the M18 Drywall Cut Out Rotary Tool can cut through 1/8" (3 mm) luan plywood but is designed for drywall. Cut slowly and steadily to avoid burning the wood or breaking the bit.

    Can I use it to cut plywood
    ByMay 26, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    The M18™ Drywall Cut Out Tool is designed specifically for drywall and similar light materials. It is not ideal for plywood. It can do it in an emergency with the right bit, but for efficiency and safety, use a jigsaw or circular saw.

      Will this cut out light fixture and vent holes in fiberboard siding
      ByJan 29, 2026

      Answer This Question

      The M18™ Cut Out Tool is designed primarily for drywall and similar soft materials. It uses high-speed rotary bits (28,000 RPM) and includes 1/8" and 1/4" collets for drywall bits. For cutting light fixture or vent openings in fiberboard siding, Milwaukee recommends using a Multi-Tool designed for harder materials.

          Will it cut Rounded corners on wood
          ByOct 13, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hey, Bryan. The M18 Drywall Cut Out Rotary Tool is primarily designed for cutting drywall, but it can also be used for cutting wood with the appropriate bit. However, its primary function is not for detailed or precision woodworking tasks like cutting rounded corners on wood.

            1. Is the speed adjustable/variable? 2. Can this cut sheet metal? If so, to what gauge?
            ByAug 4, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            The M18 Drywall Cut Out Rotary Tool does not have an adjustable or variable speed feature. It operates at a fixed speed of 28,000 RPM. The M18 Drywall Cut Out Rotary Tool is not designed for cutting sheet metal. For cutting sheet metal, Milwaukee offers other tools such as the M18 18 Gauge Double Cut Shear, which can cut up to 18-gauge steel and 20-gauge stainless steel.

                  Buy extra bits!!!
                  Waited a week to get it. Drove an hour to pick it up. Got it home and put it together. Turned it on and as soon as it touched the drywall the bit broke. Very disappointing.

                    Got this drywall cut out tool to use at work. It works really well and has nice even straight lines and the piece is easily stuck back in. It does make quite a mess blowing drywall dust all over the place. Maybe if you got the dust shoe and used a vacuum, it would be better.

                      Needs Better Dust Management
                      The drywall cutout tool is completely competent at cutting holes in drywall; however, the design of the motor vents and lack of a shroud make this particular cutout tool a drywall dust sprayer. This is not for use in a finished space unless you thoroughly seal off the workspace. The lack of a shroud guarantees you need to wear goggles and a mask or you'll regret it in less than a minute. Revisions to this tool should include vent placement changes and a shroud for those that want any dust mgmt.

                      Hello! To better control dust, the M18 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Drywall Cut Out Rotary Tool uses two features - 1. Vent on Top of Tool: This vent is designed to blow debris away from the user, helping to manage dust and maintain a cleaner work area.2. Tool-Free Depth Adjustment: Allows for quick and easy adjustments, which can help in minimizing dust spread by ensuring precise cuts. If you are still experiencing issues, please message us at Social.Media@MilwaukeeTool.com. Thanks
