11/16" One Piece STEEL HAWG™ Cutter

Milwaukee 49-57-8068 — Steel Hawg™ One-Piece Cutter (11/16")

Milwaukee 49-57-8068 Steel Hawg One-Piece Cutter

What it is

• Type: One-piece Steel Hawg cutter (annular-style cutter for standard drill chucks)
• Model: 49-57-8068
• Diameter: 11/16 inch
• Cutting depth: 1/2 inch
• Shank: 3-flat, 1/2" chuck compatible
• Material: Carbide-tipped

What it does

This is a shallow-cut, high-speed steel drilling cutter designed for:

• Thin steel plate
• Stainless steel
• Cast iron

It’s not a mag-drill annular cutter like the 49-57-xxxx threaded/Steel Hawg system you were listing earlier. This one is more of a standard drill-chuck cutter.

Key features

• Cuts up to 3× faster than twist drills in thin steel
• Carbide teeth with alternating geometry for cleaner holes
• Designed for holes up to ~1/2" material thickness
• Fits standard 1/2" drill chucks (no mag drill required)
• Often used for bolt clearance holes (11/16")

Where it fits in your system (important distinction)

You’ve been working through two different Milwaukee lines:

🔴 49-57 threaded Steel Hawg (what you were mostly listing)

• Mag drill cutters
• 1" or 2" depth
• Large structural steel holes (1" up to 4")

🔵 49-57-8068 series (this one)

• Handheld drill / standard chuck use
• Small diameter (11/16")
• Shallow cut (1/2")
• Light fabrication / maintenance work

In plain terms

This is:

• A small, shallow, handheld-drill cutter
• Used for thin metal and bolt holes
• Not part of the big mag-drill Steel Hawg system you were mostly cataloging
