Description
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL™ 3 in. Compact Cut-Off Tool is a powerful, versatile, and ergonomic cutting solution designed for one-handed use. Powered by a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, this compact tool delivers a fast 20,000 RPM, enabling precise and efficient cuts across metal, tile, plastic, fiber cement, and drywall.
Weighing only 1.52 lbs, its in-line design improves cut line visibility while the reversible blade rotation allows users to control the direction of sparks and debris, adding flexibility for tight or awkward spaces.
