Milwaukee Launches Multi Cutter Blades Compatible with Various Products

Premium power tool brand Milwaukee has launched 23 types of 'new open-type multi cutter blades' that innovatively improve the slow cutting speed of existing cutter blades, the stopping issue during work, and the inconvenience of blade replacement.

The new multi cutter blades can be used tailored to the characteristics of materials requiring cutting, such as wood, composite materials, rough materials, metals, and hard metals. They adopt OPEN-LOK, which is compatible with various multi-cutter products, allowing easy blade replacement. To solve the problems of the existing rectangular-shaped blades, they use a CUTAWAY design with a thin body to reduce surface friction and improve cutting speed.

Among the 23 new cutter blades, the Bi-Metal cutter blade has a lifespan up to 15 times longer than general high-carbon steel blades, capable of smoothly cutting composite materials mixed with wood and screws or metals. It is coated with titanium, which boasts strength about twice that of iron and about three times that of aluminum, enabling fast cutting speeds.

The carbide cutter blade has 'carbide,' the hardest metal on earth, applied to the blade part, making it suitable for hard metals and rough materials. It has a lifespan up to 50 times longer than bi-metal blades and delivers optimal performance for tasks handling rough and strong materials such as reinforced concrete, cast iron pipes, and stainless steel.

A Milwaukee official said, "In developing the new open-type multi cutter blades, we focused on providing convenience to users and maximizing performance." He added, "We hope they will be used as optimal customized blades for various work environments and materials."
