MILWAUKEE® Unveils New to World Steel Pipe Cutting Solution

MILWAUKEE® introduces the M18 FUEL™* Steel Pipe Cutter, the first solution truly optimised for cutting steel pipe on the job. Optimised for residential service plumbing and mechanical contractors, this steel pipe cutter delivers outstanding productivity by providing the easiest, consistent clean cuts, the fastest cut to connection process, and controlled cuts on both installed and new pipes.

The M18 FUEL™ Steel Pipe Cutter sets a new standard in steel pipe installations, where cut quality is the foundation for a quality pipe connection.

The solution's linear actuation of the blade ensures precise, straight cuts through the pipe, eliminating the challenge of manually controlling blade angle accuracy required by traditional multi-purpose cutting tools. When paired with the solutions foldable cut fence, the steel pipe cutter delivers the easiest, consistent clean cuts. This consistency reduces the time spent on filing and deburring, leading to faster preparation times and less rework. These innovations unlock up to 4x faster cut and preparation times compared to multi-purpose cutting tools, providing plumbing contractors with the fastest cut to connection on steel pipe installations. 

Outstanding run time of up to 50 cuts on one single charge of an M18 5.0 ah battery.

The M18 FUEL™ Steel Pipe Cutter delivers controlled cuts on both installed and new pipes. For installed pipes, the solution’s linear blade actuation ensures precise, square cuts, minimising alignment challenges introduced by multi-purpose cutting tools. An integrated positive stop further mitigates the risk of overcuts in tight spaces. For new pipes, the foldable cut fence allows easy, one-handed perpendicular alignment, enabling square cuts without the need for a pipe vise. 

The M18 FUEL™ Steel Pipe Cutter is exclusively compatible with the steel pipe cutting blade. This proprietary blade is paired with the steel pipe cutter to unlock fast, square cuts, with clean finishes. The blade’s tungsten carbide teeth also deliver the durability expected of the most demanding jobs, making up to 200 cuts per blade.  

MILWAUKEE® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day's work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL™ Steel Pipe Cutter is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 315 solutions.
