Questions and Answers for Milwaukee M12 12V Lithium-Ion Cordless Copper Tubing Cutter (Tool-Only)

A:  I’m sure it would cut it, but it’s designed for copper only 

A:  It will leave too much of lip for electrical. Stick to the sawsall. Milwaukee makes a great little M12 version that I use for conduit

A:  In a pinch yes, but I would not buy this tool for that purpose.

A:  No. Just copper. You want a bandsaw or a threaded rod cutter.

A:  no. you want to look at Milwaukee M18 Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter Model# 2872-2

A:  Absolutely NOT

A:  I would say no since the threads would cause the cutter to walk while it cuts in a circular motion. Copper is also a lot softer than threaded rod. Milwaukee’s threaded rod cutter is a great tool. I recommend getting that instead for cutting threaded rod.

A:  No. It will not cut threaded rod

A:  Bandsaw

A:  This is easiest and least physically demanding way I’ve found to cut copper tubing that is still round and not beat up. If it it’s soft or bent up a cable cutter works the best. 

A:  Yes. It cuts with little effort. Up to 1” copper pipe.

A:  Yes. It makes fast effortless cuts.

A:  works great and fast

A:  Yes. It’s fast and easy

A:  Hi Matt, the product number for the Replacement Copper Cutting Wheels (2-Pack) is 48-38-0010.

A:  This works fantastic on standard copper pipe (like 3 seconds) and if doing a lot of it, definitely worth it. Never tried copper tubing, but have noticed the cutting wheels do not have the depth for the thicker walls of CPVC or PEX. If tubing wall thickness is similar to standard copper pipe it should work fine (try it and if it doesn't return it). Tried it on thin wall EMT conduit, but the wheels barely put a scratch mark on it, a bad oversight on Milwaukee's part because I could see Electrician's loving it.

A:  Yes

A:  dont know that answer because i have never used this milwaukee cutter on that situation. I only would use a midget cutter for cutting a line with water in it. i do use this tubing cutter a lot for new construction it will cut 1/2" through 1" copper pipe and really works well . You can mark the pipe and see the mark clearly through the body of the cutter.
