Any piece of versatile equipment is a gem in any trade professional’s eyes. Milwaukee Tool has created a new tool like a diamond for any trade professional. The new M12 FUEL 3” Compact Cut Tool is the latest innovation in Milwaukee’s ever-growing line of tools. This tool redesigns how cutters work and how they operate, and it improves on this, which is hardly believable.
Look, Mom! One-hand!
Most cutting tools have a silent and mutually understood agreement: you always keep both direct. Never have you heard of cutting tools that do not require two hands? Being forced to use clamps to secure your work area can cause a lot of clutter. Clamps can be cumbersome for smaller items and impossible for things in a machine that dangle.
Designed for one-handed use, the three” Compact Cut Tool solves those problems. Its one-handed capability can be operated in otherwise tight and hard-to-reach places. That way, workers left in situations where securing the material is not possible are not put at risk. Perfect for under-the-hood jobs, detailing, or removing fixtures in a weird spot.
No more dust in your eyes
Milwaukee has developed the first-ever cordless reversible blade rotation tool. Why does that matter, you might ask? When cutting any material, sparks or debris fly towards where the wheel is spinning. The issue is flying debris, and sparks can cause obstruction to your cut, cause health issues, and make a mess of your workspace.
With the redirection, you can have all that debris fly away from you rather than towards you. Reducing the time you must clean yourself from all the residues will also make work more efficient. There is a hose attachment, so you can connect it to your vacuum to ensure all the dust will not go anywhere. The hose attachment can reduce the risk of health issues from breathing in those small particles from construction.
Quicker Cuts
The compact and portable size does not mean this tool is not robust. Rotations at 20,000 RPM allow it to fast cuts in various materials. Conjunction with the reversible blade rotation, the design, and the RPM provide excellent cutting control while improving the line of sight to the material.
What Material Can It Cut
Do not exchange your big saws for this guy, thinking it can handle all that work. Best for cutting light to medium-gauge metals and other non-metal building materials (tile, drywall, fiber cement, PVC/ plastic, and more.) This little saw can make any job more manageable, whether you must work on multiple materials or just one.
