16 Gauge Punch

Milwaukee 48-44-0260 – Product Description

Milwaukee 48-44-0260 Replacement Punch

The 48-44-0260 is a replacement punch (shear/nibbler component) used in Milwaukee’s 16-gauge nibbler tool system, specifically the Milwaukee 6890 nibbler.

What it is:

This is a wear part inside a sheet metal nibbler, not a blade or drill accessory. It’s one of the key cutting components that moves back and forth to punch through sheet metal.

Key specs:

• Part type: Replacement punch
• Tool compatibility: Milwaukee 6890 16-gauge nibbler
• Material: Hardened steel
• Use: Works with matching die (48-44-0270 sold separately)
• Function: Punches out small sections of sheet metal to create cuts

Key features:

• Restores cutting performance when the original punch wears down
• Works as a matched system with a die for clean sheet-metal cutting
• Designed for 16 ga steel and 18 ga stainless applications
• Service part: Replaced periodically as part of tool maintenance

In plain terms:

This is basically the “moving cutter” inside a sheet metal nibbler.

Instead of spinning like a saw:

• it punches small bites out of metal repeatedly
• allowing the tool to “chew” through sheet steel cleanly

Simple takeaway:

• 48-44-0260 = nibbler punch (internal cutting part)
• Used in Milwaukee 6890 sheet metal nibbler
• Works with a matching die (48-44-0270)
• It’s a wear-and-replace service component, not a blade or accessory
