13/16 in.

DepthThe 1/2 in. cutting depth is matched to sheet metal, steel plate, and strut applications where you need controlled cutting depth without stepping up to a larger cutter system.
Overview
The Milwaukee 49-57-8205 13/16″ Quick Change Sheet Plate Carbide Cutter is a steel plate cutter built for making 13/16 in. holes in metal materials including stainless steel, steel plate, and strut. This is a carbide hole cutter designed for metal drilling and hole cutting in sheet and plate material. Model Number: 49-57-8205. If you need a compact cutter for repeat metal-cutting work and you are already set up on Milwaukee’s quick-change arbor system, this is the size-specific cutter that handles that job.
What matters here is not just the diameter. The 13/16 in. cutting size makes this cutter useful when the hole needs to land where it should the first time, especially on steel plate and strut where fit-up matters. The listed 1/2 in. cutting depth tells you where this accessory belongs: sheet metal, plate stock, and similar metal applications where you want a controlled, purpose-built cut instead of forcing a general-purpose hole saw into work it was not made for.
The carbide cutter design is the right call for metal-focused use because it is aimed at durability and clean cutting in tougher materials. Milwaukee specifically lists stainless steel, steel plate, and strut as target materials, which gives this accessory a clear lane. It is not trying to be everything. It is built for metal trades and contractors who need a dedicated cutter for steel and stainless jobs.
The quick-change shank style is another practical part of the package. This cutter is designed for use with Milwaukee quick change arbor 49-57-0035. That matters on the job because faster cutter changes mean less downtime when you are moving between hole sizes or replacing a worn accessory. If your setup already uses that arbor, this cutter drops into an existing workflow without adding extra adapters or guesswork.
In day-to-day use, this kind of accessory makes the most sense for electricians, mechanical contractors, metal fabricators, and general contractors working with strut and steel plate. It is also a solid fit for serious DIY users doing metal fastening or installation work who want the right cutter size instead of oversizing holes and cleaning up the result afterward.
If your work is mostly wood framing or finish carpentry, this is not the accessory you reach for. If your work involves drilling clean holes in stainless steel, steel plate, or strut with a quick-change metal cutter system, it is exactly the kind of size-specific carbide cutter that earns a spot in the box.
