The MILWAUKEE M12 Copper Tubing Cutter is the industry's first cordless unit, cutting up to 10X faster than conventional tubing cutters. Milwaukee engineered this versatile copper tubing cutter for plumbers, mechanical contractors, and remodelers that runs at 500 RPM for unmatched cutting speed. The included M12 Battery and ultra-efficient gearing allow users to make up to 200 cuts on a single charge. The patent-pending cutting mechanism automatically adjusts diameter to cut Type K, L, and M copper pipes from 3/8" to 1" (OD from 1/2" to 1-1/8"). The unique rotating cutting head cuts installed copper piping with as little as 1-1/2" clearance, and the lightweight, the inline design provides users with a longer reach and reduces wrist strain when working in confined spaces. A built-in LED light illuminates the cutting surface. The electronic overload protection and unibody construction provide maximum durability.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great idea, poor design This tool only works well when you are holding the copper in your hand and feeding it perfectly into the mechanism. It is extremely picky, you will have no luck using it in tight or awkward places as it has to be perfectly placed. THE BIG PROBLEM is it gets jammed easily and when it senses that, the entire device completely turns off and does not reset for up to an hour sometimes, that in itself is a major flaw and needs to be investigated by Milwaukee immediately. Really wished this thing worked without so many issues because when it does it's great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great! Over 8000 pieces cut still going! I bought this tool 5 years ago, and I love it. I am currently running Copper water piping on a high rise. I am the only guy piping the runouts to the fixtures and have kept up to the rapid pace of the job. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!!!

I know the specs says for copper. That said, Can it be used on nickel plated brass tubing 10mm ID x 14mm OD?

Asked by: Bono
No, it can’t be used on nickel plated brass tubing 10mm ID x 14mm OD, but we can recommend using our Bandsaw 2729-20 paired with 44-7/8" 8/10 TPI Extreme Blade (48-39-0601.
