M12 PLASTIC PIPE SHEAR BLADE

What it is:

The 48-44-0405 is a Milwaukee M12 Plastic Pipe Shear Blade used with the Milwaukee M12 PVC/pipe shear tool (2470 series). It’s a replacement cutting blade for cutting plastic piping materials, not a saw blade or drill accessory.

Key specs:

• Part type: Replacement shear blade
• Tool compatibility: Milwaukee M12 plastic pipe shear (2470 series)
• Material: Reinforced stainless steel
• Cut capacity: PVC, CPVC, ABS, PEX, rubber hose, non-metal conduit
• Function: Clean shear cutting of pipe (no chips or sawdust)

Key features:

• Burr-free cuts: Produces clean, square pipe cuts without shavings
• Long life edge: Reinforced stainless design reduces chipping and wear
• Wide material range: Works on multiple types of plastic piping
• Jobsite ready: Designed for plumbing and HVAC installs

In plain terms:

This is basically the “razor blade” inside a powered PVC pipe cutter.

Instead of spinning or sawing:

• the tool shears pipe cleanly in one squeeze cycle
• this part is what actually does the cutting

Simple takeaway:

• 48-44-0405 = replacement blade for Milwaukee plastic pipe shear
• Used for PVC / CPVC / PEX / conduit cutting
