16/18 GA.SHEAR BLADE SET

What it is:

The 48-44-0122 is a Milwaukee shear blade set, used as a replacement cutting blade kit for Milwaukee electric metal shears. It is not a saw blade or drill accessory—this is a service part that restores cutting performance on a shear tool.

Key specs:

• Type: Replacement shear blade set
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Capacity: Designed for 16–18 gauge sheet metal
• Includes: Top and bottom cutting blades (matched set)
• Tool compatibility: Commonly used with Milwaukee model 6805 metal cutting shear

Key features:

• Restores cutting performance: Replaces worn shear blades instead of replacing the whole tool
• Top + bottom blade set: Maintains proper cutting alignment and shear action
• Designed for sheet metal: Optimized for straight cuts in light-to-medium gauge steel
• Precision fit: Must be gapped/adjusted correctly after installation (using a feeler gauge)

In plain terms:

This is basically a replacement “knife set” for a powered sheet metal cutter.

Instead of spinning like a saw blade, a shear:

• clamps metal between two blades
• slices it cleanly like scissors

So this part brings that cutting edge back when the originals wear out.

Simple takeaway:

• 48-44-0122 = replacement shear blades (not a cutting bit or saw blade)
• Used for 16–18 gauge sheet metal cutting tools
• Comes as a matched top + bottom blade set
• Designed to restore performance on Milwaukee metal shears
